An interesting read. I always use the base of my Wilson 47D's as a "bushing wrench" when fieldstripping my 5" Kimber. It helps push thespring cap down as I rotate the bushing w/myfingers. Works great!

Very interesting read. Learned something new. Already emailed the link to a few friends who carry 1911s. Thanks for posting the article.
