TMC Guide Rod Kit – Prodigy 5 Inch

The TMC Guide Rod Kit – Prodigy 5 Inch upgrades the recoil system in the Springfield Armory Prodigy 5″ pistol. This kit improves reliability, reduces maintenance time, and keeps a clean factory appearance.

More importantly, the kit fits the Prodigy 5″ exactly. Because of this precise fit, installation takes only minutes. No fitting is needed. No modifications are required.

Easy Disassembly and Clean Fit

To start, the guide rod includes a precision-drilled takedown hole. This feature allows quick disassembly without tools. As a result, cleaning becomes faster and easier.

In addition, the beveled guide rod head sits flush against the slide. This smooth edge removes sharp corners. It also gives the pistol a clean, finished look.

Together, these features make routine maintenance simple and stress-free.

Strong Materials That Last

For strength, the guide rod uses 4140 carbon steel. This material resists bending and wear. Even with high round counts, it holds its shape.

At the same time, the guide rod measures .326″ in diameter for proper fit. Because TMC machines each rod to precise dimensions, the recoil system moves smoothly during every cycle.

To finish the part, TMC applies a black oxide coating. This finish resists corrosion. It also matches the factory Prodigy finish for a uniform appearance.

Smooth and Consistent Recoil Control

The kit includes an 8 lb ISMI round wire recoil spring. This spring provides smooth compression and consistent resistance. As a result, the slide cycles evenly and returns to battery reliably.

ISMI recoil springs have proven durability. In testing, many exceed 100,000 compression cycles. However, for best results, routine maintenance remains important. Replacing the recoil spring once per year helps maintain peak performance.

Precision EGW Reverse Plug

To complete the system, the kit includes a fully machined reverse plug from EGW. EGW machines this part from blued carbon steel for accuracy and strength.

Because the reverse plug controls spring alignment, its fit matters. This precise fit improves reliability and reduces uneven wear.

When combined, each component works as a balanced system. Nothing feels forced. Everything cycles smoothly.
