Item ordered wouldn’t fit, the front bushing was either out of speck or not designed for the newer Colt Defenders in 9mm.

Superfast shipping, obvious high quality, and a small but detectable reduction in felt recoil. It is a bit more difficult to remove the slide now, but it's a worthwhile tradeoff.

I recently purchased a used pistol, and as with all used purchases I proceeded to clean, inspect and change out the springs, decided to try EGW and was I impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of the part compared to the stock setup, again their quality puts them in the forefront

I do the same with every gun I purchase. Take it home, break it down and clean it. This lets me get familiar with the individual parts early on and track how they wear. When I bought this latest, a Colt Defender 9mm, I did the same thing. Putting it back together with the original spring was extremely frustrating. Installing this guide rod assembly solved all of those frustrations immediately. So far, I've got 200 rounds through the pistol without a single failure to feed, cycle or fire. This product was well worth the price.

The EGW kit made an amazing difference in my Defender. The gun was defective, new out of the box. Now it performs 100%. Thank you
