It may work with some machining(03/05/2010)
Easy to install - needs some work on it to look right, rod to long, sticks out 1/8 inch in front of barrel bushing.
NOT TOO LONG FOR 4.25" COMMANDER(27/09/2012)
THIS IS VERY WELL MADE PART. DROPS RIGHT IN ON TRUE COMMANDERS. JUST MAKE SURE IT'S A 4.25" BARRELED COMMANDER. IF YOUR COMMANDER HAS A 4" BARREL IT WILL OBVIOUSLY BE A LITTLE LONG. I'VE PUT THEM IN COLTS & DAN WESSONS FOR CUSTOMERS & THEY WHERE VERY PLEASED!
Great product(01/09/2016)
This is a high quality product. It's sized perfectly for my Colt pistol.
Controls heavy recoil from +P loads(06/01/2012)
I wasn't really looking to upgrade my mil-spec guide rod until I test fired a friends 1911 with this product installed and I was amazed at the difference. Needless to say it is installed in my weapon and it truly tames those +P rounds. I wouldn't recommend firing super hot ammo all the time, but I like to practice with what I intend to use for self defense. I loved this product!
Good Rock Island1911 after alteration(25/02/2012)
I had to grind a little bit of material off of the round section of the back of the guid rod base. It was not letting the base site flush. I have a 2011 Rock Island full size 1911 A1FS GI.
Good after minor alteration(25/02/2012)
It requred some grinding of the round backing in order for it not to get stuck in a position that caued binding. I put it on a 2011 Rock Island 1922 A!FS.
EASY UPGRADE(27/09/2012)
I'VE INSTALLED ALOT OF THESE IN CUSTOMERS GUNS. COLT, SPRINGFIELD, KIMBER, DAN WESSON, TAURUS, ETC.. ALL THE BENEFITS OF A 1-PIECE GUIDE ROD BUT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER TO DISASSEMBLE. I'VE NEVER HAD TO GRIND ON 1 OR MODIFIY IN ANY WAY. BEAUTIFUL FINISH, LOOKS LIKE ONE SOLID PIECE UNTIL YOU UNSREW IT.
Over All Good Drop In Upgrade(09/06/2014)
I installed this on my Ruger SR1911 and it was a perfect fit. The OAL was spot on. Very easy to install (if you can field strip your weapon you can install this part)and the included allen wrench actually fits. A bit of a rarity as far as included tools go these days, and it's not a soft steel wrench that rounds off easily. Not that you need a lot of torque on this. The spring cup to guide rod fit is surprisingly tight. Another advantage that is not in the description is a little added muzzle weight. Not enough to be a bother while sighting but helps to reduce muzzle rise just slightly. I also suspect the spring cup to be slightly thicker between the spring and barrel bushing. The new parts went in a little stiffer than the factory parts did. My pistol only had about a box of ammo through it before the upgrade. The only thing I think I'll be doing to improve this part is a bit of polishing. I can feel the spring rub against the guide rod, but if I were more patient I'm sure the parts would smooth themselves out with a few trips to the range. In conclusion I would recommend this as a simple upgrade to any level of 1911 shooter. I'll be ordering more for my other govt' models.
