I've seen a few of these pop up when I was looking for other 1911 parts, and I had a few questions.
How effective are they? It seems like they couldn't fit on that tight and you'd lose some gas in several places. All the really expensive comps from custom smiths and high-end 1911 manufacturers seem to be either threaded or have and integral cone that extends back on the barrel, making the profile similar to a bushingless bull barrel.
Will adding one affect accuracy? A wobbly bushing fit can affect accuracy, which leads me to believe swapping out a match-grade bushing for one of these things could have a negative effect on barrel/bushing fit.
