Overview
This reverse plug is designed for 1911 pistols set up with a bull barrel or cone bushing, helping fill the open area around the barrel for a cleaner fit. Its oversized band is intended for precise fitting to the slide, while the flange plug configuration is made to retrofit existing slides with cone-style bushings. The GM version is steel, in-the-white, and measures 1.7 inches long with a .50-inch diameter. It is a practical option for builders or shooters looking to complete a compatible 1911 setup with a more finished appearance and added barrel support.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires precise fitting to the slide, so installation is not a drop-in change for every 1911 setup.
- Designed for bull barrel or cone bushing applications, so it is not a universal plug for all barrel/bushing configurations.
- The steel is supplied in-the-white, which leaves final finishing or matching to the user’s preference.
- Intended to retrofit existing slides with cone-style bushings, so compatibility depends on the specific slide and setup.
