    Some Gunsmith Fitting Is Indeed Required

    Posted by Anonymous on Jun 27th 2015

    I’m providing this review for other amateur or wannabe gunsmiths to better understand what gunsmith fitting means, at least in my situation. I bought 4 end plugs for 4 different 4” bull barreled pistols. (After I had issues, I checked all end plugs with a micrometer - they were all the same, hence, the rating). However, the slides on all 4 guns were different in that the side-to-side distance of the portion of the slide separating the barrel and the end plug were not all the same, and they were not uniform within the slide. I chose to work on the least expensive part (the end plug rather than the slide). The “bow-tie” support has to be stoned to fit through the narrowest gap, which may or may not leave a gap at the front of the pistol. Also, 3 of the 4 end plugs were about .002” long when seated against the slide collar. For the stainless plugs, the excess could be removed. For the blued end plugs, this would have required re-bluing. So, after all was said and done, I have two pistols with nice supported end plugs and two extra end plugs that I used as learning opportunities.
