1911 Grip bushing tool by Challis

[Thomas Salmon]

If you need to remove 1911 grip bushings, the Challis bushing extractor is a must-have tool ($30; Challis Grips). It can save you a lot of grief! This video describes how it rescued me. (YouTube placed a serious-sounding label on it because I marked it "Not for children.")

The Challis grip bushings are nice, too.
