I have a dim recollection of an explanation that the recoil spring is so heavy on the .45 conversions that it is extraordinarily difficult to pull the toggle to release the holdopen; the MSTR was designed to alleviate this.

thanks Dwight, I was not considering the .45, just in general.

I bet the mainspring was a bear to get into the frame also!
