EGW Long Slide (6″) Keyed Reverse Plug w/ .332″ Hole – Blued

The EGW Long Slide Keyed Reverse Plug brings strength, stability, and smoother cycling to any 6″ long-slide 1911 that runs a reverse-plug setup. Because it works with a standard 5″ recoil spring, it immediately improves tuning options while reducing stress on the front of the slide. As a result, shooters get consistent performance in competition, range use, or custom builds.

Unlike softer plugs made from lead alloy, this model uses precision-machined steel. Consequently, it resists cracking and handles long-term recoil forces far better. The rounded, extended shoulder also supports the slide without leaving weak points exposed. Therefore, the plug stays secure during firing, even in hard-running pistols.

Why the EGW Long Slide Keyed Reverse Plug Stands Out

Built for 6″ Long-Slide Pistols

This plug is engineered specifically for 6″ slides. Because of that exact fit, it delivers clean function and reliable spring control in long-slide 1911 platforms.

Optimized for Standard 5″ Recoil Springs

Although designed for a 6″ gun, the plug accepts standard 5″ recoil springs. As a result, shooters gain wider recoil-spring options without needing hard-to-find or proprietary parts.

Improved Strength and Durability

EGW machines the plug from high-quality steel and eliminates common fracture points. Therefore, you get a plug that withstands aggressive cycling, hotter loads, and long-term use.

Ideal for Comp Guns and Bull-Barrel Pistols

Reverse plugs are essential for setups that remove the traditional barrel bushing. This includes compensated pistols and bull-barrel builds. Because of this design, the plug retains the recoil spring securely while smoothing the compression path.

Professional Installation Required

While the part installs easily for a trained smith, fitting remains important. Proper installation ensures optimal spring alignment and safe operation.
