Wilson Combat 1-Piece Full-Length Guide Rod

A: 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.

A: 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/

A: 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/
