Quality product from WCT
This was a perfect drop-in 2 piece "FLGR" for my officer model 1911. Replaced the short guide rod and closed plug with a better made unit in less than 5 minutes, the money and time spent gives me a much more dependable carry gun.

An improvement
Results in smoother operation, although it does not reduce effort to retract slide. Eliminates binding and crunch of unsupported dual springs. Makes disassembly easier, as long as you have the Allen wrench handy. Does require modification to the slide to fit reverse plug. Best done on milling machine, but can be accomplished with careful use of a quality file.

Great Product on Officers ACP 3.5
I have this mod on both my officers acp 3.5" and gov't model ....works great on both. To reviewer from TEXAS: this product is designed for the 3.5" barrel officers model only ....not for the 3" Defender ....so naturally it looks rediculous ! Little more difficult to field strip with this mod but easily overcome by using the proper wrench. Will buy again.
