The force would go to the barrel bushing if it is indeed like the real-steel, where the recoil spring bushing is held on by the barrel bushing, but in the case of the Hi-Capa or Marui 1911, there is a lip around the back of the recoil spring bushing which braces agains the slide itself....which also hits the base of the guide?

Anywho, if you run the Bull-barrel, as per Kos's suggestion, you are basically running the same barrel configuration as Hi-Capa(which have no barrel bushing), the slop in the barrel/slide fitment is taken by the barrel itself, which is tapered along the length of it(wider at the tip, narrower toward the chamber).
