Essential for Every 1911 Owner: Reliable Recoil Spring Plug

The 1911 AUTO MIL-SPEC RECOIL SPRING PLUG from CYLINDER & SLIDE is designed to enhance your shooting experience by ensuring that your recoil spring remains securely in place during disassembly.

Product Features:

Durable Construction: Machined from high-quality steel with a blued finish for longevity.
Mil-Spec Design: Features a mil-spec flange punched into the side, allowing the recoil spring to be wound into the plug before seating in the slide.
Safety First: Prevents the plug from flying off during field stripping, reducing the risk of loss or injury to the operator.
Precision Fit: Designed for full-size Government model pistols, ensuring a proper fit with flat, diamond-pattern knurling on the front.
Compact Size: Measures 1½ inches (3.8cm) long with a .495 inch (12.6mm) outer diameter, fitting mil-spec Government models perfectly.

If you lose the plug, your gun won't operate, and your day at the range could be over. It's wise to keep one or two of these essential parts in your range box or field maintenance kit for backup. Don't compromise on your shooting experience—ensure you have the right tools at hand!

Definitely recommended

Worth 3 times the money 15/05/2015

I've purchased 2 of these. One is in my 1911 Government model and one is in my Commander.

The one for the Commander was easily trimmed down to length with a standard tubing cutter.

These plugs make it so much easier to field strip with out the possibility of having to chase the plug all over the place.

Recommended with reservations

Looks nice 02/10/2014

I had planned to replace the full length guide rod & plug in my RIA 1911, since it makes field stripping a PITA. The C&S part looked fantastic with a nice satin blued finish. Then I measured it with my digital micrometer. The ordinance specifications for the recoil plug is 0.4985"+0/-0.005". The C&S part measured 0.4946-0.4957". So the plug is in spec, but a bit egg shaped.
