Problems solved by technology

So, the weakness inherent in the long handled design is a failure to easily apply the required force in the proper direction.
Many practioners of the art would not place any hard object other than a properly sized cleaning rod inside the muzzle of the pistol, due to the possibility of damage to the rifling, which would prove immediately deleterious to accuracy.
Second, the elongate member revealed in Perry make the tool somewhat more cumbersome to transport than the current embodiment.
In summation, pri

Abstract

A handgun bushing removal tool, designed to encompass the end of the slide, to facilitate the safe and rapid removal and replacement of the barrel bushing on a 1911 type semi-automatic pistol. The tool contains an aperture generally conforming to the shape of a 1911 barrel bushing, which the bushing passes through, which when held in the palm of the hand, allows direct pressure to be applied to the spring plug while the tool is rotated. The tool is also designed to limit the rotation of the bushing by contacting the slide wall with the end of the slide when the correct amount of rotation has been achieved.
