can't imagine a more business like looking business end of a 1911 !
Care to share details of the plug/guide metal meaness up there ?
Most of the replacement barrel bushings for the Officers ACP have a fairly thick flange and when Colt sized the length of the factory barrel, they used a pretty thin flange and a shorter tube to match. The after market barrel makers followed suit with the same length. So, if you use an after market barrel bushing with a stock Colt, or after market barrel, the barrel usually sits way back below flush with the bushing. The result looks like a poorly thought out parts mismatch in what would otherwise be a nice custom pistol. I contacted all of the barrel makers that I do business with looking for one who would make me an Officers ACP barrel about .125" longer than stock Colt. I finally got in touch with the right guy at Storm Lake and made a plan with them. This let me get the finished barrel with deep dish crown to be flush with the barrel bushing flange. The rest of the front end meanness came from an EGW flat wire recoil spring, reverse plug and guide rod.
