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:
Pin-Retained Takedown for Ultimate Reliability: We don't use buttons or levers that can fail or be accidentally engaged while shooting. Our simple, pin-retained system is the gold standard for dependability, ensuring your guide rod stays secure no matter what. We do not sacrifice reliability for convenience.
Machined from Solid Stainless Steel: We CNC-machine each guide rod and plug from solid stainless steel for maximum durability and a precise fit. This is a "buy it for life" upgrade that will not bend or break under heavy use.
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.

Works beautifully on my prodigy with the included spring. Action of the slide is smoother and looks better with the stainless end matching the barrel. The “tool” works well and can easily be replaced with any paper clip or similar. I have never seen proof of the SA factory 2pc guide rod coming loose, but now I have peace of mind on that as well. Go ahead and get this along with the EGW extended slide release at a minimum for your prodigy
