Our VP tool-less guide rods are CNC machined from both stainless steel & tungsten, with a stainless steel reverse plug. Suitable for 1911/2011 platforms, they are a great upgrade allowing very easy disassembly for cleaning. The tungsten guide rod provides additional weight to the front of your pistol, helping reduce recoil. CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON PRE-ORDER WITH EXPECTED ETA 6-8 WEEKS.
