Does anyone use these?

I order one for a 1-1/4" plunger tube gun I'm in the process of making and I'm wondering if this connecter (sic) makeitgo has created has any advantages I should know about.

Ahem.I have not heard of people using those.

An advantage that you've ignored with makeitgo's method, is that it's flush with the tube, so you can have stuff slide over your plunger tube if you need to.I have not heard of people using those. Makeitgo's method doesn't really have any advantages, except that you don't have to wrap the reducer in tape.

The lip on a 1"x ½" PVC reducer can be ground down with a dremel to enable sheaths to slide over it.An advantage that you've ignored with makeitgo's method, is that it's flush with the tube, so you can have stuff slide over your plunger tube if you need to.
And if you haven't seen anyone using a 1 1/4" x 1/2" reducing bushing you don't read too many topics here I guess.

Anything that requires a dremel is by default awfullip on a 1"x ½" PVC reducer can be ground down with a dremel
the 1"x ½" reducer is more expedient for several reasons
- It requires less work.

I'm not knocking the 1" x 1/2" reducing bushing, as that is usually always what I use for this. Instead of grinding down the lip, you can often just hammer it straight into the 1 1/4" you're fitting it in. I still use tape to make sure it seals because the lip doesn't always seal perfectly with the 1 1/4".stuff
Strongly agree with Carbon here. That is one huge advantage. Assuming you find the magical sized 1" CPVC coupler, makeitgo's method is much easier and faster to get your bushing to seal perfectly.I hate using tape and adhesives and prefer simple assembly, so I've always built this way (as opposed to the now standard 1" bushing).
