TMC Guide Rod Kit – Prodigy 4.25″ – Tungsten

Upgrade your Springfield Prodigy 4.25″ with the TMC Tungsten Guide Rod Kit and feel the difference immediately. This drop‑in upgrade adds front‑end weight, improves control, and delivers smoother shooting without complicated fitting or tuning.

Faster Takedown, Cleaner Fit

The tungsten guide rod includes a built‑in takedown hole, which makes disassembly and reassembly quick and simple. As a result, routine maintenance becomes easier and faster. In addition, the beveled guide rod head sits cleanly against the slide. Therefore, your Prodigy keeps a seamless, factory‑finished appearance.

Added Weight for Better Control

Unlike stainless guide rods, this kit uses a precision‑machined EGW tungsten guide rod. Because tungsten is much denser, it adds approximately 1.2 ounces to the front of your Prodigy. Consequently, muzzle flip drops noticeably, recoil feels softer, and follow‑up shots come faster. This added weight especially benefits competition and high‑round‑count shooters.

Standard Recoil Spring Compatibility

Rather than relying on proprietary flat wire systems, this kit uses a standard .326″ diameter guide rod. Therefore, you can run any Commander‑length recoil spring. The included 12‑pound ISMI round wire spring provides smooth, reliable cycling. Furthermore, independent testing shows ISMI springs can exceed 100,000 compression cycles. Even so, annual replacement remains the best practice for peak performance.

EGW Reverse Plug Strength

Additionally, the kit includes a fully machined EGW reverse plug made from blued carbon steel. This plug adds strength, precise fit, and long‑term durability. Together, the guide rod, spring, and plug create a recoil system that feels solid, balanced, and dependable.
