On an LE bushing less barrel setup how long before accuracy degrades due to slide and barrel wear? On a bushing barrel the bushing is replaced how is addressed on this kind of setup?

I greatly value a tight slide to frame fit in 1911's, that's just my preference.
However, one of my most accurate 1911's was a sloppy Colt that would rattle if you even looked at it. That Colt had so much side to side and vertical play that I doubt another 1911 could have been fit looser. It was every bit as accurate as my MUCH tighter fit 1911's.

So a fullsize with a bushing will stay tight longer than a non bushing gun like a professional?

It's my understanding that the slide fit
accounts for about 15% of the total accuracy of the pistol.
Given that, it should not be a factor to be concerned with unless you are shooting championship national match bullseye, and need consistent groupings under an inch. Quote:

I learn something from you with virtually every one of your posts. Thanks again for freely sharing your knowledge. Obviously you are an excellent communicator but I'll also bet you would have been one heck of a good pistolsmith if you choose to go that route.

It will take many, many thousands of rounds to wear a cone lockup-remember the barrel and slide are both very hard and there is little friction. With any of our pistols, if properly fitted, you will wear down your rifling and leade from shooting bullets down your barrel and negatively impact your accuracy more than any wear to the barrel, slide or frame from shooting. In high velocity rounds it can happen in as little as 10-15,000 rounds. 38 super with jacketed bullets is hard on a bore. With low pressure rounds like the .45 and lead bullets lots of guns go 50K rounds. Lots of variables.

Do you recommend shooting jacketed ammo or bare lead? Talking target/field ammo here. I have always shot jacketed ammo because I dont want to lead the barrel.

I prefer jacketed ammo because there is less cleanup/smoke and you get better accuracy past 25 yards with quality jacketed bullets over hard cast lead.
Jacketed is certainly tougher on your bore though. Lots of threads on the forum around this topic.

I definitely agree those guys are talented. That video of Ron Phillips detail stripping and reassembling a weapon in less than 15 minutes simply blows my mind. He makes it look SO easy. I've watched it about a dozen times so far. Of course I fully realize nothing in that video is even considered gunsmithing. I'd like to see him in action building a weapon. Skills like that take years to master because working with metal is NOT easy. He is truly an artist.
