A question for all you gun-techs/smiths out there. I was recently at a gun show. I was looking to get into a .45 pistol and was talking to a smith about it. One thing he showed me was a device that looked like a guide for a recoil spring. He mentioned that this object could make a .45 recoil feel like a .22. When I shook it, I could feel that it was filled with liquid (mercury) and ball bearings. Questions:
1) have I assumed correctly that this device is a recoil spring guide?
2) If so, does it drastically reduce the recoil?
3) Further to above, am I able to get this item (that looks like a long "point-less" nail) for various pistols like: .45 1911, CZ 9mm, Beretta ect.?
4) lastly, where would I purchase this recoil absorbing items if I live in the Vancouver area?
thanks for your assistance!
