Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a Match Fit barrel and is oversized in key areas, so it requires machining to fit rather than drop-in installation.
- It is recommended only for qualified, experienced gunsmiths, which adds labor and fitting considerations beyond the part itself.
- The .45 ACP version is non-ramped, so it is intended for 1911 Government models configured for that barrel style.
- Fits 1911 Government pistols with a 5" slide, so compatibility is limited to that platform and configuration.
