As advertised the replacement guide rod required fitting for a Colt Defender. Once that was done it was easy to assemble and disassemble. Haven't live fired it yet but cycles smoothly and do not anticipate any problems at the range.

I bought this for a Para-ordnance P-10, is is a basic no frills warthog. The guide rod protrudes out the front of the slide approximately 1/8", see photo. I have yet to test fire but that is coming up soon. Hopefully all goes well.

This one piece guide rod assembly is very well made. It fit my Colt Defender perfectly, literally. The flat spring is a must have on modern pistols due to their longevity. Pistol shoots great. Worth every penny!

guide rod and spring kit were shipped right away. arrived well packaged. fit perfectly, and looked like factory made part. 21 lb. spring feels better then stock 19 lb spring, and the fact that it is flat wire, will last much longer then round wire spring. not to forget if you have trouble reassembling slide and barrel to frame with factory recoil spring system? you will appreciate the simplicity of EGW setup. just have the take down pin (paper clip) handy when you take pstol down for cleaning and or maintenence.
