I have 1/2 dozen 1911s now and have had another 1/2 dozen.
The Sig STX I recently picked up has an extremely tight barrel bushing. I don't mean snug ... I mean 'Holy cow' that's stupid tight.
No other Sig, Smith, SA, or Colt I've owned or now own has even approached this.
I've inspected the slide and bushing for galls or burs ... I see or feel nothing. The bushing and seat are well lubed with hoppes elite.
I'm not moving or turning the bushing under recoil spring tension. I pull the pin, remove the slide then try to twist the bushing.
I've ordered a tool, but the over riding concern is eventual galling.
Any one else ran into this anomole?
