I'm about to buy one if it will work so I'm hoping you guys can school me real quick since I don't know much about 1911 fitment
This is my SA Champion 4" .45 
Will this guide rod plug work in my pistol? http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=44009/pid=1357/sku/Commander_Recoil_Spring_Plug__Stainless |

Well, the TRP Operator I bought had a full length guide rod and I hated it.
I looked everywhere for parts to convert it, I didn't like needing a tool to remove the slide. Dawson makes tool-less guide rods, but he doesn't make one for the TRP. I ended up selling the TRP and I'm looking at other models that have GI guide rods. |

Aren't you the one that was going to get a Dawson and try turning down the plug (since the only apparent difference was in the reverse plug sizes)? Plus, even with bull barrel, you can switch to a quasi-GI setup by using a GI rod but still using a reverse plug (which is necessitated by the bull barrel). |

That looks like a full-length guide rod, so I don't think so. ETA: Are you planning on replacing the entire guide rod assembly? I was thinking about it but I'm really lost when it comes to the guide rod thing. One piece, 2 piece, full length etc  NONE FTW!. purist here. |

Whether it is full-length or not is the question. |
