EGW 1911 Barrel Bushing – Drop-In Bevel Flange – Commander – Stainless Steel

The EGW 1911 Barrel Bushing (Commander) offers a precise, reliable way to tighten slide-to-barrel fit and improve accuracy. It arrives fully machined from stainless steel, hardened for long service life, and designed to boost consistency shot after shot. Although it is generally a drop-in component, minor fitting may still help achieve the best possible lock-up.

Precision-Machined for Better Accuracy

This bushing features a .699″ outer diameter and a .580″ inner diameter, giving shooters a snug, stable fit when paired with properly sized Commander-length slides and barrels. Because EGW uses an angle-bore cut, the bushing centers the barrel more consistently during lock-up. As a result, the pistol maintains improved alignment during firing.

Durable Stainless-Steel Construction

EGW machines each bushing from heat-treated stainless steel, which resists wear, corrosion, and long-term deformation. Additionally, the .125″ flange increases strength at the muzzle and helps support the recoil spring plug.

Commander-Length Drop-In Convenience

While this part often installs without major modification, slight fitting may still help you reach a perfect match to your slide and barrel. Even so, most shooters appreciate the straightforward installation and the immediate improvement in slide-to-barrel consistency.
