The EGW Solution: Reliability Over Convenience
The secret to a reliable 2011 is a high-quality recoil system that will not fail. Here’s why our guide rod kit is the superior choice:

Optimized Recoil Spring: This kit includes a high-quality recoil spring, ensuring reliable and consistent cycling of your firearm from the very first shot.
Proudly Made in the USA: Every component is manufactured here in our Quakertown, PA facility and is backed by a lifetime of service.
Prodigy Guide Rod FAQ
How does this guide rod simplify takedown?
Our one-piece guide rod simplifies disassembly of the Prodigy. It has a small hole drilled through it. During takedown, you retract the slide slightly, insert a small pin or a bent paperclip into the hole to capture the recoil spring, and then easily remove the entire slide assembly from the frame. It's a proven, reliable method that eliminates the need for the factory two-piece guide rod that requires an Allen key.
Will this fit the 4.25" Springfield Prodigy?
No. This guide rod is specifically dimensioned for the 5" Prodigy model. It is not compatible with the 4.25" model.
Important Fitment Information
This guide rod kit is for the Springfield Prodigy 5" model only. It will NOT fit the 4.25" model.

The guid rod works great; however the TOOL used to pin the spring is a little suspect. While cleaning the Prodigy, during reassembly the HOSS takedown pin sheared and was launched by the assembly. Luckily I had the slide and barrel pointed away from me. I don't know what material the HOSS pin is made of or the source for material but it seems to be a little weak in structure. I ended up ordering the HOSS kit which includes 5 of the guide rod pins so I suspect it is a known problem.
