Just a few days ago I was searching through the internet looking at some parts to improve a few things on my TLE and came to a recoil reduction system from STI... I know STI aint a bad company and I just wanted to know if anyone has any good info about these?

I would try an EGW firing pin stop, with a small radius first. Combined with a #23 mainspring.
You can't repeal the laws of physics. The small radius firing pin stop doesn't do that, but it does make recoil a bit more manageable. Compensators work also, however, they work by directing gas backwards, like a recoiless rifle. Consequently, they are quite loud. Simple weight works well to lessen recoil. Practice also works well. |

Practice....practice......practice.
Recoil reducers IMHO make for a less reliable weapon as it's not a part that is designed into it. If the caliber your shooting is too much pick a lighter bullet, a smaller round or handload something that works well for you. I find shooting my 10mm first really helps to reduce the felt recoil when I switch to the .45. |

Quoted:
Get the gun as low in your hand as possible. Don't lock your elbows. The right grip and stance has a lot to do with recoil control. Never tried a recoil master system. Agreed. Once I learned to get a neutral grip on the gun, the gun started to recoil more predictably which I think is just as important as trying to reduce the recoil. |

The EGW firing pin stop set up will delay the action unlocking a bit which will reduce muzzle rise and perceived recoil. Fun stuff. I agree with 1911smith on application and I think I'll try it on a range gun. Might have to get the spring weights right.
That being said, I've never had a problem with the recoil of a 45acp. A 38 subbie with +P I don't like. But I can shoot a 1911 all day (minus financial considerations). |
