EGW 1911 Guide Rod – 5″ Government – 2 piece

EGW 2‑Piece Guide Rod – 5″ Government 1911

The EGW 2‑Piece Guide Rod – 5″ Government delivers strength, precision, and effortless maintenance for Government-length 1911 pistols. Designed for Colt-style 1911s and high-quality clones, this guide rod system not only ensures smooth cycling but also simplifies disassembly, making it a reliable upgrade or replacement for your pistol.

Perfect Fit for Government-Length Pistols

First and foremost, this guide rod is engineered to fit 5″ Government-length 1911 pistols, providing compatibility across all calibers. Whether you are performing a factory replacement, building a custom pistol, or upgrading your existing setup, this guide rod integrates seamlessly.

Because EGW uses a two-piece design, field stripping your pistol becomes straightforward. Unlike one-piece guide rods, which require special tools or complex removal procedures, the front section of this guide rod can be removed easily during takedown. As a result, routine cleaning and maintenance are faster, simpler, and more convenient.

Precision Machined for Strength and Reliability

In addition, EGW machines every component from solid stainless steel bar stock using advanced CNC equipment. There are no MIM parts, which ensures exceptional strength, precise tolerances, and long-term durability.

The guide rod is built to withstand thousands of firing cycles without bending, flexing, or misalignment. Its smooth, polished surfaces reduce friction between the guide rod and recoil spring, promoting consistent, reliable cycling every time.

Complete Kit for Immediate Installation

Furthermore, this kit comes complete with a matching end cap and a disassembly wrench, so you have everything necessary for installation and maintenance right out of the box. Each component is engineered for drop-in installation, which means there’s no fitting, grinding, or guesswork required.

The beveled edges of the guide rod provide a seamless, professional appearance and reduce contact wear between the rod and frame. As a result, your 1911 maintains its aesthetic and functional integrity even after heavy use.

Broad Compatibility and Versatility

Additionally, this guide rod system is compatible with all standard recoil springs for 5″ Government pistols, allowing you to customize spring weight to match your ammunition or shooting style. Whether you are shooting for competition, duty, or recreational range use, this guide rod enhances performance and control.
