I'm interested in the Lakeline stainless steel recoil spring and striker assembly upgrades.
My only concern is could replacing the OEM plastic parts with metal ones actually cause more wear and tear long term.

I have the stainless recoil assembly, stainless striker sleeve, fiber optic sights from them 4k rounds fired and zero problems with them.  Also ordered a trigger from Keep Tinkering, without the trigger safety. All work perfectly. Be sure to order the trigger that retains the restrikes capability.

Lakeline LLC is good people.

If you need more than 8 rounds in a 1911 to solve your problem, you need friends with rifles.

Thanks.
I just got the Ultimate SureFire Topside Upgrade Kit
for my GX4 Carry.
The recoil spring and striker assembly's are great but the backplate is a very poorly 3D printed piece of nylon.
I've contacted them about the backplate but they haven't responded yet.

Check with a company called Techna Clip. I used their steel replacement backplate on my G2C without the clip. It's steel but I don't know if they have one for the GX4 yet. Let me know what you find out please.

Thanks for the info. I'll just keep my OEM backplate for now.

I have the Lakeline ported barrel, recoil assembly, and striker assembly in my G3C and it all works just fine. (sorry for the giant pic)
