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 5" Springfield Prodigy?
No. This guide rod is specifically dimensioned for the 4.25" Prodigy model. It is not compatible with the 5" model.
Important Fitment Information
This guide rod kit is for the Springfield Prodigy 4.25" model only. It will NOT fit the 5" model.

The shipping was very quick. I installed it today, along with a EGW slide stop. Installation was easy and the parts work very smoothly, based on manually working the slide as I haven’t had the opportunity to take it to the range yet. Based on my experience so far, I would recommend these parts from EGW.

This is the guide rod and spring that the DS Prodigy should have come with from the factory. More simplified action, easier manipulation of the slide.
