As far as I can tell, the force from the recoil goes to the spring cap which pushes against the barrel bushing which in turn pushes against the inside of the front slide. Since the old bushing was the weakest part, I'm guessing, that's why it broke, but now that it's stronger than the slide the force broke the slide, again thats just my theory. I am somewhat confused as how you can eliminate the front bushing from the gun, can anyone elaborate?
