Quoted:
some Llama parts don't interchange with a true 1911 pistol, otherwise you could just replace the mainspring housing with a straight one. ...and I wouldnt be carrying a Llama, those things are scary. its NOT a Llama, i wouldnt carry a Llama either . so, in that case what would you get?

Generally speaking, the mainspring housings come in two flavors: Arched and flat. It sounds like you would like a flat MSH.
The Firestorms i've seen pictured have flat MSHs. Maybe you just want yours fitted closer to the frame itself? I guess pictures would help. |

Something about it just fits my hand a little more comfortably. I can't say I can see how the extra 1/2" or so it adds would alter concealability very much, though... |
