Does just as described(23/04/2012)
replaced the Full Length Guide rod in my Taurus PT1911. No complaints so far. A great addition to any FLGR 1911 out there. I bought it with the Matching Ed Brown Recoil Spring Plug.
Good replacement part(01/11/2013)
I used this to replace a full length guide rod in my Rock Island Armory 1911 A-1 FS. Along with an Ed Brown government recoil spring plug and a Wolff 18.5 lb. government model variable power recoil spring, I was able to ditch the FLGR and associated impostor parts. Now it works as it was designed.
Required fitting.(15/02/2017)
When I'm assembling a firearm I expect to have to fit most of the parts to the frame to do it right. However, I was not expecting to have to fit the guide rod. I was assembling a 1911 Government using a Caspian frame. Other makes, guns, etc., may not require fitting. I had the same issue with an Essex frame. For a few bucks more I'd recommend my friends try a different recoil spring guide.
