Hi, I recently picked up a CZ97BD, and this thing is awesome...I can honestly say I think it's the most enjoyable 45 gun I have, and I have quite a few. 1911s are still my first love, but man this thing is one fantastic shooter.
Anyway, I sprang for a Barsto threaded barrel for it, as I also enjoy shooting with a can. Barsto fit the barrel and sent it back. When I got it home, of course I cleaned it all out again (they did a fair bit of test firing for zero, and it is dialed right in to the factory sight picture), put the factory barrel back in, and noticed...when the gun is assembled/cleared, if I push the muzzle of the barrel around, you can see the barrel bushing tilt and move with it. Basically, you can push the muzzle around. Here's some pictures of what I mean; first photo is me pushing up on the muzzle; 2nd photo is me pushing down on the muzzle; note the circled area in the 2nd photo and compare to the first...


Basically, my question is - is this normal? I mean, the factory barrel and bushing shoot very well for me as far as I've had a chance to shoot it (50 feet...I know, not a huge distance, but it's still kinda chilly and windy here in the tundra). I can stack holes in holes if I do my part at that distance, so it's not as if this is a detriment.
The reason I'm kind of hesitant about this though, is if I hang a can off the end of the threaded barrel...well, that's a fair bit of weight. The bushing clearly moves when I push down on the muzzle with my finger so...I'm wondering if that's normal, or what.
I've been half considering sending it to CGW for their E bushing magic, but I don't know if it actually
needs that work done. If this is normal, then I won't worry about it. I mean...like I said, this thing can shoot, at the distances I've had it at; it's accurate and consistent.
Also FWIW I did send this query to CZ, they took the gun in, shot some targets with it, said it meets their accuracy standards as-is and sent it back. Which is fine, and that's all I can ask, I just don't know if this is "normal".
Thanks for any help and input!
