[soul_rapier]

The 2 match barrels people generally look to are Kart and Bar-Sto. Like Wilson's barrel, they cost around $200 (not $300) for barrel & bushing. Go to www.midways.com, their are prices are pretty good for other M1911 parts as well.

Remember that the new match barrel + bushinq will need to be hand-fitted in order to fit & function properly. Even the supposed "drop-in" will still need some hand fitting.

I don't see any reason to use anything but a Kart or Bar-Sto but the fitting is more important than the actual barrel used.
