EGW's Long Reverse Plug is purpose-built for 1911 pistols configured without a barrel bushing. This is the standard choice for shooters running comp guns or bull barrel setups where the spring needs a different kind of retention.
The plug itself is machined from durable steel with an integral collar that's engineered for strength and longevity. The rounded shoulder design extends support across a wider area, eliminating the weak spots and exposed edges where cracking typically starts. This is a real improvement over traditional lead-alloy plugs, which are prone to fracturing under recoil stress.
This long version fits Government-length 1911 slides at the standard 1.70 inch length. The body diameter is half inch with a collar measuring .530 inch, giving you the dimensional specs you need for fitting to your specific slide. Since these require custom fitting, most builders work with a gunsmith to match the plug precisely to their slide.
This is not a drop-in part. All reverse plugs need professional fitting to ensure proper function and alignment within the slide. The work involves careful material removal and sizing to match your individual barrel and slide configuration. Your gunsmith will use specialized tools and techniques to get the fit right.
The long version (1.70 inches) is sized for full-length Government slides, while short versions are for Commander or abbreviated Government configurations. The long reverse plug gives you more material to work with during fitting, making it the standard choice for full-size builds.
Professional installation is required. These plugs require precise fitting to your specific slide and barrel configuration, which involves measuring, reaming, and material removal that demands gunsmithing equipment and expertise. Improper fitting can affect cycling and reliability.
This plug is designed for Government-length (5-inch) 1911 slides that have been cut for reverse plugs and lack a barrel bushing. It's commonly used in competition compensator builds and bull barrel pistols where the spring needs a different retention system than standard bushing-equipped slides.
Carbon steel resists cracking much better than traditional lead alloy under recoil stress. EGW's design uses an extended rounded shoulder with no exposed weak points, further improving durability and preventing the fractures that can occur in older-style plugs.
