The Brownells 1911 Slide Fitting Bar .116″ (2.9464MM) is a surface ground and hardened tool steel bar recommended by agency armorers and top pistolsmiths as the most accurate way to remove vertical slide “play” from the 1911 Auto, its variations and copies. The bar measures 4″ (10.2cm) L x 1″ (2.5cm) W and is made of stainless steel, heat treated, with + .0000″/– .0005″ (.0127mm) tolerances.
To use, measure your gun’s slide rail thickness, place the closest-sized Slide Fitting Bar in the frame “way,” and tap the frame rail with a light hammer to close the “ways” space down to match the slide rail thickness. While this method may be slower than quick-and-dirty approaches, it gives an infinitely more accurate and professional job. Complete instructions are included.
This tool is designed for the 1911 Government, Commander, and Officers models. Whether you’re a professional gunsmith or serious 1911 enthusiast, this precision-ground bar is an essential addition to your gunsmithing toolkit for achieving professional-grade slide-to-frame fit.
