Fast, Accurate Hood-To-Slide Fitting On 1911 Autos
Milled lug slot holds the barrel square in the slide for precise fitting of the hood to the bolt face slot. Provides a quick visual check for hood fit that eliminates time consuming assembly/disassembly for hood fitting. Fits between the slide rails to prevent barrel twist. Aids lockup and accuracy. May require minor fitting to slide.

Good for rookie barrel fitters(02/07/2014)
This thing works well but can be a little loose in some slides. It's best to use it to fit the barrel hood after the bushing and before the slide is fit to the frame. This gives the tool the tightest fit. After slide fitting some slide rail cut materiel is removed making it fit even looser. If replacing a barrel you may need to shim the sides of this tool.

I have purchased 2 of these now, both which had the cut-out on both ends. Only 1 of the 2 of these units had a cut-out that was actually centered. Even if it cost a little more, the cut-out should be exactly centered.

Handy but you may want to have a couple of them so you can modify them fit different slide widths.
