Overview
Designed for 1911 owners fitting a bull barrel or cone bushing, this reverse plug helps close off the open area around the barrel while providing a more tailored slide fit. The eared band design is intended to cover the unsightly gaps that can remain after the conversion, and the oversized band allows precise fitting for added barrel support. It is also described as a retrofit option for existing slides with cone-style bushings, with the collar plug sized for STI/SVI slides. The GM version is steel, in-the-white, and measures 1.7 inches long with a .50-inch diameter.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for bull barrel or cone bushing setups, so it is not a general-purpose plug for every 1911 configuration.
- The oversized band is intended for precise fitting, which may require careful fitting work rather than a simple drop-in install.
- Steel, in-the-white finish means the part is unfinished and may need final finishing to match the build.
- The product is specific to STI/SVI slides, so compatibility should be verified before purchase.
