Simple version:
the recoil rod retainer in my 22/45 was broken when I pulled the bolt out to clean after shooting a few weekends ago.
Pistol has had about 1000 rounds through it since I bought it.
As the recoil spring is permanently attached to the rod, I had to get replacement parts - pretty easy.
Ended up purchasing the Volquartsen VS3 Recoil Rod Spring and Assembly Kit/Tandem Kross Essential Parts Maintenance Kit as a combined order.
Both are of good quality and were very easy to install. I haven’t been out with it since the install, but I’m sure it will function great, if not better wit the Eagle's Talon Extractor and new Titanium Firing Pin.

Longer version:
My slight disappointment was however the way the item was shipped. These are small parts and could have easily been shipped in a padded envelope - however they turned up in a large box (think shoebox size), just way too big for what was even needed. Considering it's free shipping on items over a certain spend price (and that is always appreciated from OP), the unnecessary waste of using such a large shipping box was essentially lost, considering that most shipping (even bulk corporate accounts) is often calculated on cubic volume (think UPS/FedEx requirements).

I hope that OP customer service look these reviews and appreciates how this may impact on the future generation of waste and strengthens their focus on more efficient and recyclable shipping processes.

Bought this and also the AR magazine rack for my Pelican ammo case to hold all my mags when at the range.
While they do their job effectively, the material is of relatively poor quality.
The material and glue 'melts' and left a thick and sticky residue on all my 9mm mags, with the sticky material difficult to remove. The AR one hasn't appeared to have had the same issue - but they are also plastic mags - 9mm are all metal (Beretta 92FS and Glock 19) mags.
The 9mm mags sit very tight and I agree with the previous reviewer to upside to the .45ACP double stacked version so there is a little more breathing space with the mag sizing. This may solve the problem, however, the material may still do the same thing if left in the sun/heat. I was shooting outdoors in 72º temps (with my case in the shade) and it occurred.
While I will continue to use these (until I find a better option), it is probably worth up-sizing as suggested.
Would be fine for home bench/gun vault but consider another option if you're taking the outside into weather.

This thing is nice, quite big and looks super sturdy and will likely do the job very nicely.
Waiting on my armorers wrench to show up to do the install.
From the testing results it looks like it’s a winner.
Looking forward to trying this very soon and making my own determination!

Bought this as I have 3 other mates I shoot with who have them on AR/AK rifles (with the magnifier).
Was a great deal and I love a splash of FDE on my AR..
Great price, great service, great shipping!
