Just a "head's up" for those of you who may be looking for replacement "nested" recoil spring packs for the short barreled (3.75") S&W .45 caliber pistols, and others. Tactical Springs has these (2) spring packs available at their website. Have no fear when ordering.....these are very high quality springs that will fit the smaller diameter guide rod, and work like the OEM springs in the models listed. (and some others)

At the web site, scroll down near the bottom to the product listeng chart just above the "Machine Gunners Lube" heading. You will see the product description and part# 45162

The web address: Tactical Springs & Machine Gunners Lube
