Anyone still using one?
I used one from 1975 until 2005 when a “gun school” instructor said that if I loved my kids I would go to a “Standard Barrel Bushing”
I was wondering if anyone has one they used longer than 30 years with no issues.
Despite all the stories from instructors, gun smiths, and range and gun store Commandos I have yet to have a face to face with anyone that saw the dreaded Broken Bushing finger jam.
Having seen an actual stoppage caused by a broken Standard Bushing and seen a couple of cracked bushings over the years on Service pistols, I do wonder if breakage and stoppages from them are any more common on the Series 70 bushing than the standard.
Maybe we “just know” the finger bushings are “Bad”because folks say so!
