As you can see from all the Thank You replies there are a bunch of us who do appreciate your taking time to explain the inner workings of the Briley Bushings and the proper method to remove them. Your examples of the incorrect method are also very enlightening so please accept my thanks for your willingness to share your knowledge and your expertise with the S&W Semiauto Pistols. Keep it coming and have a Very Merry Christmas!
Actually, Merry Christmas to All!
