4.8 Rating 55 Reviews

The takedown hole in the guide rod allows for easy disassembly/reassembly.The head of the guide rod has smooth beveled edges to make for a seamless look.All kits are drop-in.This guide rod kit is made for the Springfield Prodigy 4.25". It will also work for the 4.25" Springfield EmissaryThis kit uses a 1/4" diameter guide rod, flat wire ISMI spring (12#), and our fully machined reverse plug.You can order a replacement spring HEREIn independent testing, ISMI spring have endured in excess of 100,000 compression cycles. We don’t recommend going that long between changes however. With an ISMI spring, practice routine maintenance and change it once a year.

“First thing in any 1911 or 2011 I do is replace the Recoil Spring and Guide Rod assembly. I prefer a Flatwire setup as that’s going to offer longevity. The other issue among 1911s and 2011s is that with most manufacturers, they’re not properly sprung. For these Pistols as an overall Platform, there’s only two Manufacturers in thr aftermarket I go with. Wilson Combat and of course, Evolution Gun Works. I get my parts from them knowing that they just work. I’m skilled in gunsmithing as a longtime hobby, so hand fitting isn’t an issue for me. The end result with this product in particular makes the Prodigy look better and function flawlessly. Definitely recommend this Guide Rod Kit from EGW for your 4.25” Prodigy. Combined with the other things I’ve done to mine, it runs fast like a Ferrari and is as reliable as an old Toyota Pickup that just doesn’t quit. Definitely going EGW for specific parts for my next Prodigy that’s coming in another month.”

“The guide rod kit dropped in perfectly and significantly improved disassembly and spring tension feel over the factory setup. Only suggestion would be to include more takedown pins.”

“This thing is a game changer. First the POS that they make the gun with should be banned. Second it was tightened down so tight I got the start head stuck in it and couldn’t get it out. Last, it took me longer to open the package then it took me to get my gun back tougher. The pin mechanism is genius. Thank you so much!!!”
