Solid Recoil Spring Guide.
Solid and heavy. Nothing not to like!

Exactly what it should be
Ordered to replace a two piece, full length guide rod on on older Springfield Loaded. Good looking part, even if I'm the only one that will ever see the bluing. Tight fit on the spring, much tighter than I've seen before, just makes takedown a little easier with the recoil spring secured.

It works.
I put one of these in my Springfield 1911 when I took out the two piece guide rod. It was a drop in part requiring no fitting. A few thousand rounds later I have yet to experience any malfunctions or abnormal wear. Me likey.

Needs work
The useless take-down hole is drilled too far from the tip. It is covered by the dust cover on a Colt frame. Needs the hole drilled 1/8" - 1/4" forward and the spring plug punched (to engage the spring) to be the perfect product.

Not for a reverse plug installation
Although this rod has a "takedown" hole, the hole in the one I received was misplaced, falling where it is blocked by the dust cover. Unable to use any takedown pin for my bull barrel installtion. If the postage to return were prepaid it would definitely be headed back. It will work for a standard bushing type installation.
