EGW Guide Rod – 2-Piece Tungsten 5″ for 1911 Government

EGW 2‑Piece Tungsten Guide Rod – 5″ Government 1911

The EGW 2‑Piece Tungsten Guide Rod – 5″ Government improves recoil control while maintaining easy disassembly for Government‑length 1911 pistols. Designed for Colt‑style 1911s and quality clones, this guide rod adds forward weight to help the pistol shoot flatter and return to target faster.

Tungsten Weight for Better Control

First, the tungsten construction adds significant mass to the front of the pistol. As a result, muzzle rise decreases and recoil feels smoother. Consequently, follow‑up shots become faster and more controlled.

Because of this added weight, the guide rod works especially well for competition shooting, range use, and performance‑focused builds.

Two‑Piece Design for Easy Maintenance

In addition, EGW uses a two‑piece design, which allows simple field stripping of the pistol. Unlike one‑piece guide rods, this system lets you remove the front section during disassembly. Therefore, cleaning and routine maintenance remain quick and straightforward.

Furthermore, the kit includes a disassembly wrench, so you have everything you need right out of the box.

Precision Machined with No MIM Parts

Moreover, EGW machines every component from solid bar stock using CNC equipment. There are no MIM parts, which ensures superior strength, precise tolerances, and long service life.

Each guide rod delivers consistent alignment and smooth cycling, even under repeated firing cycles.

Broad Compatibility

Additionally, this guide rod system fits 5″ Government‑length 1911 pistols and works with all calibers. Whether you’re upgrading an existing pistol or completing a custom build, this guide rod integrates seamlessly with standard recoil systems.
