The Wilson Combat Bullet Proof Long Recoil Spring Plug (Wilson Combat part no. 587) is a longer-profile recoil spring plug built for the full-size Government 1911 frame. Wilson Combat is one of the most respected names in match-grade 1911 pistolsmithing, and Bullet Proof is the company’s designation for its upgraded, higher-spec parts line. The recoil spring plug caps the recoil spring at the muzzle end of the slide, and the longer profile is built to pair with certain guide rod and spring configurations that need extra plug length for correct seating.
