WILSON COMBAT - Flat Recoil Spring Plug

Nice product. Looks really good.

I use this product and a standard recoil spring guide to replace the full length guide rods in 1911 Government model pistols. I and many experts feel that the full length guide rod adds nothing to the reliability of the 1911 platform, and causes issues during the take down process. This and a standard recoil spring guide rod are drop in parts on any Government model 1911 with a barrel bushing installed. No fitting required, and in most cases, your already existing recoil spring from the full length guide rod system works with the new parts.

I put a reverse crown on my barrel and use a thick flange bushing. this plug works great as it fits flush with the thick flange bushing I got from EGW. Being a Wilson part its high quality and durable.

Ordered for a Springfield Armory Loaded Target 1911A1 9MM stainless. I do not like the two piece recoil spring guide rod and plug sleeve and they had to go before I would even take it shooting. This recoil spring plug matched the finish of the handgun, the ringed design gave just enough purchase to depress the plug without it slipping. Mated up well with the barrel bushing and Wilson combat short guide rod. I did not need to modify it to fit. The length was perfect and now I do not need to use any tools to take the handgun apart.

I was looking at custom engraved plugs to set my 1911 build apart a bit. But when I saw these I opted for my build. These are simple and distinctive looking plugs that will make your 1911 much more interesting to look at. Dropped right in and looks amazing.
