What is the EGW - One-Piece 1911 Tungsten Guide Rod?

5" One Piece Guide Rod: Fits flush with the slide so you can turn the bushing to disassemble the gun. This guide rod also features a takedown hole. This tungsten guide rod should be checked by a gunsmith familiar with the 1911 design. It may require minor fitting to contact the frame evenly. Failure to do so may lead to premature wear and/or breakage which will not be covered under warranty. The head of the guide rod has smooth beveled edges to make for a seamless look.


SPECS: .326" (8.2mm) diameter. Fits 1911 Auto, or STI, Govt. length slides with 5" (12.7cm) barrels. Tungsten 3.1 oz.(88 g).

Very Satisfied
Excellent experience with Brownells. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Shipping was extremely fast, and communication throughout the process was clear and timely. The order arrived exactly as requested, with no issues at all. I will definitely continue buying from them and highly recommend them. ( I post ir this review in Google )

My Favorite Guide Rod
I have talked about this in other reviews, a one piece rod that is technically not because it's two pieces threaded into itself to create a one piece Are not my favorite because I don't like the design. EGW makes really good quality parts out of great materials so I like a solid one piece rod and for that reason I think you get a lot of bang for your buck and it's worth every penny this is a high quality part and it definitely feels like it. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Product
This really adds some heft to the muzzle and really helps me control recoil on timed and rapid fire strings!

Fantastic Product
This is an absolutely fantastic product. The additional weight, strategically placed under the barrel, helps to stabilize the firearm during cycling. Is it effective? Yes, enough that it is considered an "unfair advantage" to have one in your gun during many firearms competitions. If you plan to compete in IDPA or some divisions of IPSC, best to leave it out. It is most advantageous when performing "double trap" drills. Personally, I use these in both my 1911 and Glock. I swap it out for a stainless rod when going to sanctioned competitions, otherwise it's in my gun. It is probably worth noting that some competition shooters (not me) find that tungsten wears out and will break through protracted use. Bear in mind that this would be the sort of high volume shooter who puts tens of thousands of rounds through his guns. I shoot a lot, but not enough to worry about this occurring. Regarding the earlier reviewer who downgraded this product for it's difficulty of disassembly... that's not a fault of this product. Any 1911 that uses a guide rod is best disassembled with a purpose made tool that costs merely a few dollars.
