It improves reliability, speeds up maintenance, and increases long-term durability—all without requiring tools.

Designed for Fast, Tool-Free Maintenance

With this guide rod, you can field-strip your pistol in seconds. Instead of searching for hex keys or fighting with stubborn parts, you simply compress the spring and lift the rod free. As a result, you spend more time shooting and less time working on your firearm. The tool-less system makes cleaning easier, speeds up recoil spring changes, and ensures your pistol stays in peak condition.

Built With a Durable DLC Finish

The Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating gives the guide rod exceptional wear resistance. Additionally, it reduces friction, enhances cycling smoothness, and improves slide tracking. Because the surface stays slick even under heavy use, your pistol runs cleaner during high round counts. Competitive shooters notice a more predictable recoil impulse and improved shot-to-shot consistency.
