Perfect Fit

Works perfect in my Lightweight Officers Model which has a .250" diameter full length guide rod with zero modifications.

Good parts, needed fitting thought

I have a Springfield 1911 V10UC-ported Officers model with bull barrel, the spring did not fit as a drop-in part. I had to do some fitting to make it fit the plunger, no big deal I don't like sloppy a fit anyway. Fired the gun several hundred times without any issues, its much stiffer than the original spring but that maybe because the new spring is about 1 1/2 coils longer.
