Just had one come out while changing grips, any smiths in okc can do a quick job Thursday?

Just unscrew it off of your grip panel screw and replace it yourself.

The threads on those things turn the same direction as the grip panel screw.

Yes, yes...I'm sorry guys...John Moses Browning did screw up on at least one aspect of the 1911 pistol by making the grip bushing's threads going the same direction as the panel screws.

Just unscrew the grip screw and screw in the grip screw bushing into the frame with a bit of red Loctite - it will stay put.

If your really careful... you can grab the bushing with a pair of small pliers and back the grip screw out. Happens all the time....
