Every 1911 owner needs a spare.

AS many know, this is the easiest part on an M1911 to lose. My thumb slipped and it was gone.looked 2 hrs and ordered and as I looked up from computer there it was but I now have two spares that fit perfectly.

Exact Fit Replacement

I bought this item because the original one for my Colt 1911 Government Model was inadvertently launched into a low earth orbit during disassembly.. The quality is spot-on. As an additional benefit, once installed, this item also helped to locate the original part, once it returned to earth!

Quality Part

A quality 1911 Plug can be a hard part to find. Brownell's part is perfect and is flat blued. It is mil-spec so drop it in. You're done; and done looking.

High Quality Part

You can pay a lot for a plug but this Brownells part IS what you are looking for. It is Mil-Spec, blued; what else can you ask for?
