The Professional doesn't use a 2 piece guide rod. That should be your indication to ditch it and just use a standard GI rod, spring, and plug.
I removed them from my TRP. |

Great... Untill it breaks They're made by a company called ISMI which provides flat wire springs to virtually the entire gun world. They are far beyond extensively tested to the point it's not even a debate. |

The flat wire coil springs use the 1911s are the same ones used across the board and just about every other handgun that uses flat wire springs.

then you should put traditional springs in your Glocks and HKs. Same supplier. |

Is there anyway for the two piece GR to keep from unscrewing while shooting?

Congrats OP! Great purchase. I've had my TRP for about a year and a half and I've never regretted buying it. The grip screws occasionally come loose, but I just snug them up when it happens. Blue loctite would probably take care of it, but I'm not sure if using that would impact SA's warranty if I ever had to send it back for something.

I like the one piece rods.
There is also a lower strength than blue thread locker, I use it when I need to unscrew things periodically. |

Mine isn't a TRP but an MC Operator. It came with the GI style guide and plug.
I replaced the one piece guiderod in my Kimber Custom (pre II) with an Ed Brown guide and plug.  Attached File Attached File |
