3. Spacer kits - AS/Illusion sells the kits that are essentially metal washers and rubber washers. It is essentially that the rubber is in between metal plates...since if the recoil spring is in direct contact, the recoil will eventually cause the spring to cut through the rubber.

I prefer the Airsoft Surgeon rubber buffer option ones the most, as the rubber buffer does absorb a lot of the recoil. The recoil spring does not rest directly on the rubber... it rests on a metal washer, so there is no worry of the spring cutting in to the rubber.
This concept was taken directly from Wilson Combat, who offers these rubber buffers as a performance upgrade option. The original idea is to save the frame from the slide bashing in to it repeatedly:

Gordo,
The Tokyo Marui "Hi-Capa" is based off the "2011" platform, which is similar to the 1911, except it uses a split frame design (grip/trigger guard portion is separate from the receiver), and it uses wider (high capacity) double stacked magazines.
Some of my favorite manufacturers include:
www.stiguns.com
www.sviguns.com
www.brazoscustom.com
www.limcat.com
www.shueycustom.com
The operation is pretty much the same, between the 1911 and the 2011. 2011's are widely preferred in the competition world, due to their higher capacity magazines (even a high capacity extended single stack mag can't beat a standard 2011 magazine when it comes to ammo count.)
Also, because of the split frame design, the variety of grip to receiver variations are exponentially higher than with the standard 1911 design.
