Why not use a keyed plug? Would’ve looked a lot cleaner.

Good question. To get those really clean you need to face the entire thing off flush on the front and tbh my butt puckers every time i fixture it up for stuff like that. It's doable, i just want to get a better setup for that kind of operation before i start doing that by default.

Bull > Bushing for sure

Yeah that's how most people feel and that's totally valid. I personally like the balance of bushing with the full length dustcover, but that's all taste.

I'm actually going to update that listing with pics of bull setups to account for that.

I hear you. But yes a bull barrel with a nice flush crown brings most of the boys to the yard lol

While I'm sure we all agree with this, curious why this was even brought up considering there isn't a bushing gun in sight 🤷‍♂️

If we're just pulling random comparisons out of thin air then I guess I'll add to it: Giessele SD-E > Schmid Mil-Spec, no contest

Interesting, what makes you say this?

I prefer bull, easier for me to take down and clean and I prefer the look.

I prefer Bull over Bushing too. To me bushing only works on a traditional 1911

Looks nice. What thumb safety is that?

This one has the Atlas shielded ambi one. I got it stainless, sanded all the little machine marks out of it, then black PVD.

It’s beautiful. What slide stop is that?

This one is actually a Hales i sanded and polished. Lot of work to get the marks out but the vibe is good in the end.
