No Lie....30 min to drop-in

I've had a budget 1911 Commander in 9mm for 2 years that has performed flawlessly. I wanted to upgrade the barrel and found an Ed Brown replacement option at Brownells. Took the leap thinking the worst would have me use a gunsmith for installation. The barrel was a perfect fit that only required to 1200 grit sanding to soften some edges on both the barrel and bushing. 30 minutes later I had everything fully assembled and running some snap caps perfectly. At the range my 1911 ran flawlessly with a variety of 9mm ammo. I was truly blown away with how the build specs my budget 1911 were spot on and allowed the Ed Brown barrel to be installed so easily. No gunsmith needed....it truly was "drop-in". Now I have a 1911 9mm keeper with the guts of a true Ed Brown.

Love it!

I had to do some fitting for this to work in my gun. The instructions provided were very good. Once I got it to lock up, it was still very tight. I took it out to shoot it and it performed very well. I thought the price was great for the high quality barrel, bushing, and link. Consider this a bargain! BTW, shoots as well as it looks. Brownell's gave me some money off on this but, even at their advertised price, I consider it a bargain.
