Bought in 2007 for The Wife, round count in the thousands, last changed the recoil spring from Baer's 23 lb. to standard 18#. Field stripped the pistol for cleaning and discovered a forward piece of the barrel bushing had broken off.
Sent the pistol to Baer (on my dime) as they would not provide a replacement and will report on the outcome. Has anyone else had a Baer (or any one else's) stainless steel bushing break?
Of Note: Upon receipt of this pistol in 2007, it was found that it would not operate reliably. After return from Baer, it was found that the problem had not been corrected. 1911Tuner changed out the slide lock, the firing pin stop and "corrected the angles" on the firing control parts and the pistol has never failed.
With the broken bushing in place, the pistol still shoots. ???
