Reverse plug for Colt MKIV Series 80 Officers ACP

[Sarge45]

OK pros. I need help with this question. I have a cherry Colt OACP and would like to replace the stock recoil spring and plug with the more reliable reverse plug, or something similar and more proven that the original.

I have looked at Wilson, Ed Brown, Clark, etc. and all of these require "slight modification" to the slide, or removal of metal from the back of the lower spring cover on the slide. Problem is, I don't want to alter this weapon permanently and lose value on it's resale if I go there.

Are there any alternatives which do not require removal of material ? Thanks ahead of time !

No sarcasm intended, but you could buy a spare and wait for the original part to malfunction. I and the guy I sold it to put many thousands of range and duty rounds through an Officer's without any problems...100% stock. Wished I'd kept that one... :beer:

Roger that El_Ron on the spare. That may be what I do. I sure enjoy the little gun, although it has been more of a safe queen than anything else. I don't use it much because they aren't made anymore. Heck, I don't think I have 150 rounds through it yet.

Had the thing since the early/mid 90's. Think I'll just keep ahold of it. Thanks El_Ron.
