No. Even when supplied from the factory, recoil masters go straight in the trash can.

I just don't like the "recoil impulse" . It just feels wrong to me. YMMV

Functionally I don't think they do anything better than a conventional spring of the appropriate weight. On guns with a bushing I always use a standard spring, GI-type short guide rod, and closed plug. On bull barreled guns with no bushing I prefer a standard spring and Dawson tool less guide rod. |

Thanks for the advice. I've got a plain GI 1911 I'm looking to upgrade and turn it into a backup for my TRP that I run in matches. |

When they first came out they were horribly unreliable. I think I had three replaced in quick succession in my factory Edge when they broke.
Supposedly STI fixed the problem, but I went with a conventional guide rod and spring and never looked back. I can't tell any difference in recoil between a conventional setup and the Recoilmaster. |

My STI came with the Recoil Master from the factory, the gun runs absolutely perfectly and feels amazing. No way I'm changing anything.

I always take them out. They tend to break and it's difficult to get STI to sell you replacement springs.
There is nothing they do better than a standard recoil spring setup. |

I would replace with a Dawson Tool less guide rod.
the Recoil Master is just junk |

I'd like to say it gave my gun problems, but it could've been caused by weak ammo, limp wristing, and lack of cleaning/lubrication.
I changed it out for a one piece guide rod and lighter spring. Gun runs a lot better, but it still needs to be cleaned and lubed to run good. |
