Thanks. I did not know that.Skiprr wrote:It really kinda depends on the gun, I think. On some, the barrel bushing can be turned easily by hand; on others, not so much. I have three pistols with barrel bushings so tight that they need to be tapped in and out. I suppose they could be turned by hand if someone had really tough fingers and a massive amount of hand strength, but for non-superhumans a bushing wrench comes in very handy.Pawpaw wrote:I haven't felt the need for a bushing wrench...
I have three 1911s and only the 5" RIA has a bushing. It is very easy to take down by hand. It almost always has a Kimber 22LR conversion slide on it, so I seldom do the standard take-down.
Still, I like the look of that 1911 multi-tool.
