I vote for ditching it as well.
I ditched the one on my Kimber TLE not because it was problematic but because it made it a pain to take down. The pistol still works great and I saw NO loss in accuracy or change in function...but now I can take it down without some silly tool or acrobatics with the end of the magazine. Many of the higher end 1911 makers are moving away from FLGRs on their "serious business" models. Many noteworthy pistol instructors (like Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch) also don't care for these things. - Brickboy240

FLGR have been known to actually hurt accuracy.

Yeah, I am not buying the "recoil spring kinking" theory either.
Dad's USMC issue pistol was made in 1943, rebuilt in the early 60s and he carried it in Nam and later in the reserves (then "liberated" it because he felt the Corps owed it to him LOL). If the recoil spring in that M1911A1 never kinked....guess what...I call BS on 1911 recoil springs kinking up. Anyone else notice the odd weight it adds to the 1911? Its like someone taped a weight on the muzzle. If you're used to standard 5" 1911s without a FLGR...you will notice this. Don't know about hurting accuracy but the weight up front feels wierd and unbalances what is one of the best balanced autopistols ever made. Ditch the FLGR...you'll be glad you did. - brickboy240
