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).
Oh, well, in that case, you can just get a full length guide rod.

Shit, why didn't I think of that earlier. That'd totally work.
