Reverse Plugs and 2 peice guide rods.

Thanks Tom for your input, that at least tells me what they ARE. But I still lack in how they operate. I don't mind technical jargon, actualy I enjoy it quite well to be honest. I know how the one peice fits inside a 1911, i've gotton that far. My Commander is going to have a barrel in it, with one of Jim Clark's BIG Bushings in it, I beleive their also known by the name of "meltdown", I prefer that full profile look to it as it is much cleaner. Or at least looks cleaner to me anyways. Now on the 2 peice guide rod, does the spring go in between the two halves? I've seen a couple that have this funky bulge on them towards the front half, what does that bulge do, (sorry, I don't know the name so it's a "bulge" to me). I hope i'm not pestering yall TOO awfull much here now. I greatly apreaciate how freindly everyone has been thusfar Thanks again Tom! Buck.

Hi Dave Sample, thanks for your reply to my question. When I build my commander, I should use a guide rod withOUT the buffer, correct? I am planning on using the over sized bushing from EGW / Clark, for what they call the "Melted" look, and they reccomend a reverse plug, do they get installed the same way as you would with a normal plug and bushing combo where plug just gets locked in by the shoulder on the plug under the bushing? I'm sure eventualy everyone will just get tired of my questions and by me a commander Thanks again for your imput, and warning about the shock buffer.
