Is this rod fit for a 45 ACP fire arm? And is it supposed to rattle once installed?

Steve, compatible with 1911 Commander. Due to varying recoil spring tunnel lengths on some brands of pistols ensure that your firearm is compatible with parts built for a 4.25″ barrel Commander style handguns. Guns with short recoil tunnels and full length rails like the STI 4.1 series are not compatible with Commander recoil system parts. I would contact Wilson Combat to make sure you have the correct kit for your gun, for Technical Questions: 1-870-545-3618 or send on line message here >>> https://dukecreative.wufoo.com/forms/w4okjhq1dyn3mp/

Steve, this is a 1 piece Guide Rod for the 1911 Commander Pistol. I would contact Wilson Combat Customer Service for advice on fitment issues at (870) 545-3618. ------------ https://www.wilsoncombat.com/customer-service/

can i replace short guide rod with this full length guide rod?

Frank, Yes you can use this full length guide rod and cap instead of the GI guide rod. Brownell's has some great videos on this. Little more slide drag, no spring crimping. 1911 designed with use of short guide rod for over 100 years.

The One Piece Full Length Guide Rod replaces your stock recoil guide without pistol modification. Assembly and disassembly are the same as with stock components (however a bushing wrench is required). Some shooters are in the habit of moving the slide back slightly to remove the barrel bushing, this is not possible with a one piece guide rod. Note: Wilson Recommend using Barrel Bushing Wrench with this product. CAUTION: Safety glasses should be worn at all times when replacing or working with firearm springs. Failure to follow this safety precaution could result in bodily injury.

I didn’t really like the feel of it. Definitely felt harder to rack the slide. I also noticed a rattling noise when the slide was racked. Put the old rod in and didn’t have that issue anymore.
