Group Gripper part 2. (15/10/2012)

Added one to an American Tactical Commander Length .45. Already had one on a Full size Auto Ordinance. Lock up assured Shot-to-shot consistancy. Some MINOR fitting required, but well worth the effort!!

It works (09/04/2011)

I installed a group gripper in a colt combat elite about 15 years ago. It locks the barrel up much tighter as advertised.
I have not seen or had any ill effects with this device.
All I can say is it works, it will not help you grow hair. Or help it you can't shoot, but the barrel will lock up in the slide a lot tighter. With a fitted bushing you would see a big improvement if you gun is (combat loose) to start with.

Works great (21/07/2011)

The kit required a little fitting, but it was worth it. My Taurus 1911 was getting tight groups (out of the box), but now I'm getting 2 or more rounds per hole. This product is well worth it for those of us who like to "punch paper" .

WORKS WELL (16/02/2012)

part works as advertised but they need to allow the option to buy different barrel links so the fit is exact for some guns so you don't have to work with other parts.
