I have several 1911's (need some more though) and I have one I haven't shot for a long time. I remembered it was never "consistently" accurate. It might put a 3 shot cloverleaf together, then "spray" 3-4 other rounds. So I thought it must be me and just moth-balled the pistol.
I have been doing quite a bit of 1911 shooting lately and have gotten some inpressive 6-7 shot groups from a couple of my favorites. So, I broke my ole' Mr. Inconsistent and shot it along with my favorites.
Mr. Inconsistent is still inconsistent. So I got home and started cleaning my pistols and discovered the barrel bushing fit on the gun in question has the sloppiest, worst fitting bushing I have ever seen.
I know the barrel bushing on a 1911 is very important. Just wondering the difference I might see after I have a gunsmith install an oversized fitted bushing? Taking it for repair today, hopefully have it back in a week or two.
