| Today I took the two piece guide rod out and put in a GI type with the little shortrod and a stainless end cap . Do you think this was a wise move ? Or should I have went with a one piece rod |
| If the number of postings on the various 1911 Boards, its a very common mod for SAs of all types that come from the factory with the two-piece rod. Have never seen a posting which indicated this mod had any negative impact on function of the pistol. I switched both of mine because it became loose during use, required another tool to take down, and was a bitch to put back together. Those problems have gone away with the mod. My opinion is that if the two-piece is not giving you any issues, don't mess with it. If it is, it's an easy mod with absoulte assurance that it will fix the problems as listed above. |
