Good gentlemen,   I'm looking for insight into which replacement tool-less guide rod you recommend for a 4.25 Comped version.  I see Dawson's 4.25 explicitly says not to use it with the comp version.  - Was wondering if this was the case for the other brands.

Atlas Gun Works tool-less. Works flawlessly in my 4.25" Comp

Happy to help!

EGW also makes a keyed reverse plug for the Prodigy, to fill the gap between the recoil rod and the barrel. Mainly an aesthetic choice, but it is next on my list of Prodigy customization/upgrades. The Atlas tool less has been a great upgrade for my pistol; much easier to disassemble.

It took my first time disassembling it to quickly decide i absolutely hate the stock guide rod. I was eying that plug as well- the gap has been bugging me

This is the EGW keyed plug specifically for the 4.25" Atlas tool-less. The gap bothers me, too...now that I noticed it, I cannot unsee it.
