EGW Keyed Reverse Plug – Commander – Blued – .322 Hole
The EGW Keyed Reverse Plug – Commander delivers a stronger, smoother, and more reliable recoil system for Commander‑length 1911 pistols. Specifically engineered for use with full‑length guide rods and bull barrels, this reverse plug provides added reinforcement where traditional designs often fail. As a result, it supports consistent cycling, improved spring control, and long‑term durability under hard use.
Precision‑Machined Carbon Steel for Long‑Term Strength
Unlike reverse plugs made from softer lead alloys, EGW machines this keyed reverse plug from solid carbon steel. Consequently, the plug resists cracking, deformation, and premature wear. Even under high round counts or aggressive recoil cycles, the material maintains its shape and structural integrity.
Furthermore, the blued finish adds an additional layer of surface protection. At the same time, it preserves a classic, factory‑correct appearance that blends seamlessly with traditional and modern Commander builds alike.
Reinforced Keyed Design for Cleaner Cycling
Just as important, the keyed and extended shoulder design eliminates the exposed weak points found on standard reverse plugs. Because the shoulder extends and rounds the stress area, it increases stability during recoil. Therefore, spring movement stays controlled, and the guide rod tracks more consistently.
Additionally, the keyed profile ensures proper alignment within the slide. As a result, the recoil spring remains captured and centered, which directly improves cycling smoothness and reliability.
Built for Bull Barrels and Full‑Length Guide Rods
Because bull‑barrel 1911 builds do not use a traditional barrel bushing, the reverse plug becomes a critical component. For that reason, this EGW reverse plug plays a vital role in maintaining proper recoil system geometry.
By securely capturing the recoil spring and supporting the guide rod, the plug helps prevent binding, uneven wear, and inconsistent return to battery. Consequently, your Commander‑length pistol operates with greater predictability and confidence.

Why This EGW Reverse Plug Improves Your 1911
First, the extended keyed shoulder increases surface contact, which improves support during recoil. Next, the carbon steel construction resists long‑term stress, even in high‑round‑count pistols. Finally, the keyed alignment keeps the spring and guide rod tracking correctly throughout the entire cycle.
Together, these features deliver:
-
Cleaner, smoother cycling
-
Improved spring alignment
-
Reduced stress on recoil components
-
Greater durability for competition or duty use
Installation and Use Notes
Because this reverse plug plays a critical role in recoil system function, professional gunsmith installation is recommended. Proper fitting ensures optimal alignment, reliability, and long‑term performance—especially in bull‑barrel or compensated setups.
In Summary
The EGW Keyed Reverse Plug – Commander – Blued – .322 Hole offers a robust, precision‑machined upgrade for serious 1911 builders. By combining carbon steel strength, reinforced geometry, and exact dimensions, it delivers a recoil system that cycles cleaner, lasts longer, and performs reliably shot after shot.
