    Holy hell this gun is tighter than I imagined. The slide/frame fit has no rattle, even with the hammer cocked back. There us no slide/frame overhang. The barrel locks up tight, no wobble when I press the barrel hood down or to the side. It's in there firm. The trigger is just what you'd expect from a quality 1911, and the brushed flats look way better than I imagined.

    The barrel looks to be one piece, and not the two piece that I anticipated. This pistol is all around quality! Time to break it down and check bushing fit. Then take pics

    It needs a bushing wrench. I need to use the grip of a knife to push down the plug and get the bushing moving once I unscrewed the half of the FLGR.

    EDIT: Cleaned it up and oiled the hell out of it. Bushing now turns easier.
