Been down bushing road. I ended up ordering from Challis, just be sure you know which size you need.
He also has a bushing tool that is pure genius.  Attached File |

Is that a peening tool? |

That challis tool in my pic is actually the bushing wrench. It has the proper tabs inside to engage with a traditional bushing, then a screw goes in to hold the bushing tight. I can’t explain it, but have mangled my share of bushings. Go very slow with whatever method you use for removal and install of your bushings, very fine threads and soft steel.
The challis bushings also make things much easier with their no slot design. Guy started as a grip maker, and got tired of trashing bushings and designed his own.  Attached File |

Currently I use BLUE LocTite to secure bushings so they don't come out with the screw |

Currently I use BLUE LocTite to secure bushings so they don't come out with the screw I like those bushings too but for now I was going to use blue. The one that backed out was due to the screw seizing in it for whatever reason. None of the factory Springfield bushings appeared to have any type of securement. |

That’s what got me going down the bushing rabbit hole, a bushing coming out with a grip screw. The O ring trick has been a big help, I don’t have to torque grip screws very tight to get them to hold.
I think some manufacturers actually stake the bushing and some loctite. That Challis tool gets all conventional bushings out without damage. |
