1911 Guide Rod Spring Options

You can replace the factory 2 piece guide rod on a Springfield 1911 with a one piece or a 2 piece government rod with plug. Makes for faster take down with no tools! Check out this channel http://www.youtube.com/user/thenowandaway

Dawson Precision full length tooless guide rod... Someone has a good video of it on their TRP Operator here on youtube.

[mynutzritchy]

This is a great 1911

[leoffensive]

thats why i didnt buy a loaded cause the full length rod is something that is not needed at all in a 1911

[GotAmmo21]

Thanks for making this marbles ive been considering buying a 1911 for years now and one this thats stuck with me is the difference in guide rod length as far as reliability thanks again bro later!

I NEED A 1911

[brokor1]

Yes, the GI setup is my way, too --and takedown and reassembly can be done differently now since there is no guide rod assembly. I tilt the 1911, pop out the latch, then pull the whole slide right off, the spring comes out automatically (hold with hand), and the rest is cake as you know I am sure. I reassemble in reverse. I was gonna make a YT vid, but there are already a few who do it just like I do. Spring wear is always a possibility running like this, but if you have extras, you are gtg.
