TMC Barrel Bushing – Commander National Match – Blued

TMC Commander National Match 1911 Barrel Bushing – Blued

Precision begins at the muzzle, and therefore, the right barrel bushing plays a critical role in accuracy. The TMC Commander National Match Blued 1911 Barrel Bushing gives serious shooters and gunsmiths the control needed to achieve a tight, repeatable barrel‑to‑slide fit. Unlike standard factory bushings, this component features an oversized outside diameter and an undersized inside diameter. As a result, it allows precise fitting between the barrel and slide for maximum mechanical accuracy.

Over time, factory bushings often develop play, which weakens lockup and reduces consistency. By comparison, the TMC National Match bushing eliminates excess movement and maintains a stable barrel position. Consequently, the pistol locks up the same way on every shot, delivering true National Match‑level performance in a Commander‑length 1911.

Custom Gunsmith Fitting Required

This barrel bushing ships intentionally oversized to support precise, custom fitting. Therefore, a qualified gunsmith must fit it to your specific Commander 1911. Proper fitting ensures tight barrel‑to‑slide lockup, reduced barrel movement, improved overall accuracy, and long‑lasting wear resistance. In addition, correct installation preserves safe operation and consistent performance under heavy use.

High‑Quality Blued Carbon Steel Construction

TMC machines this barrel bushing from durable ordnance‑grade carbon steel to ensure strength and long service life. Furthermore, the blued finish adds corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Because of this combination of material and finish, the bushing performs reliably under high round counts, competitive shooting, and demanding conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

This bushing uses an oversized outside diameter to achieve a tight slide fit while the undersized inside diameter allows precise barrel alignment. As a result, it enhances barrel stability and promotes consistent shot placement. The ordnance carbon steel construction provides durability, while the blued finish protects against corrosion and wear. Together, these features deliver the consistency required for National Match‑level accuracy.

Compatibility

This barrel bushing fits Commander‑length 1911 pistols and works especially well in custom builds that demand precise barrel‑to‑slide fit. However, it does not fit Government or Officer‑length pistols.

Important Installation Note

Because this is a true National Match bushing, a qualified gunsmith must perform the fitting. Proper contact between the barrel and slide ensures optimal accuracy and reliable function. Improper fitting can negatively affect both performance and safety, so professional installation remains essential.

Summary

The TMC Commander National Match Blued 1911 Barrel Bushing delivers the precision and durability required for serious shooting. It provides tight, repeatable barrel‑to‑slide lockup, long‑term wear resistance, and improved accuracy for competition or high‑performance use. As a result, this upgrade transforms a Commander 1911 into a more consistent, reliable, and precision‑focused firearm.
