Springfield Loaded 9mm 1pc guide rod ?

[kgcabs]

Just installed a Cylinder and Slide full length guide rod for 1911 Government in my Loaded.

The guide rod is short of the end of the spring plug....OK?



Thanks for the help.

Normal to me, I have a EGW & Wilson, they are both shorter then the factory Springfield 2-piece. Think they are shorter so you can remove them (PITA if they are longer).

As long as it's (long enough) and keeps in the recoil plug, it's good.

what brand is it? also what is the supposed benefit? I just bought a springfield 1911 9mm.

Looks just like mine.
I have the Wilson Combat.

That is the proper fit, if it was longer, you cannot turn to remove with bushing wrench.

I wanted to be able to field strip without an allen wrench.

Cylinder and Slide is the manufacturer.

You can turn your stock SA 2 pc guide rod to that length then Red Loctite it, works the same and save money and spend money on ammo. Make sure the back of the guide Rod is radiused like the stock guide rod or you'll peen the front of your barrel lower lugs.
