Designed for Fast, Tool-Free Maintenance

With this guide rod installed, you can field-strip your pistol in seconds. Instead of reaching for hex keys or struggling with spring tension, you simply compress the spring and lift the rod out by hand. Consequently, cleaning becomes faster, spring changes feel effortless, and your pistol stays in peak condition. In addition, the tool-less system reduces downtime during training, which means more time on the range and less time tinkering with parts.

Built With a Durable DLC Finish

The Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating significantly increases wear resistance. In addition, it reduces friction and promotes smoother slide movement. Because the surface remains slick even under heavy use, the pistol stays cleaner during long shooting sessions. Therefore, shooters experience more consistent recoil, improved shot-to-shot control, and a cleaner overall cycling feel.

Drop-In Fit for Multiple Platforms

Atlas designed this guide rod to fit several popular 4.25″ pistols. As a result, installation is fast, simple, and reliable, with no fitting required.
