You really want this tool
This is one of two tools Brownell has for removing 1911 bushings. If you installed the bushing at home, it is a breeze to remove - however - most factory 1911's stake the bushing in from the magazine side. Tos in time and rust - the bushing can be a real bear to removes. This tool is great for normal removals - and especially if the slots have been damaged on staked ones. Other tool, bushing extractor, is great for staked bushings that nobody had damaged the slots. This bit is good for the damaged ones. Owning both is money well spent.

Perfect for the Job
After reading the reviews I measured the differential of the ttols barrel/Blade length and http://www.votervoice.net/Shares/BBpOrAGEBC5qWAzlSvZ7FAAthe Slim bushing I was going to remove from a S/A Emissary. I turned down .010" (YMMV). Over the years I've learned to look for Staking marks on 1911 bushings. If you don't see the marks think "Loctite". In this case S/A used 262 (Red) Applied heat (500F). Out it came. Great tool.
