This part from EGW fit like it was straight from the factory. Their website is organized and easy to shop from. Shipping was excellent, very fast and did not cost an arm and a leg! EGW is a great company. Buy with confidence!

Replaced the stock guide rod on my Colt Defender with EGW's guide rod. Take down and install is easier, and the gun has worked flawlessly for hundreds of rounds. It is just a better design than the flimsy one Colt uses.

It's a quality part but unfortunately, it did not solve my problem of shell casings coming back very hard-and-fast into my face. Next is to more drastically reshape the ejector.

In the past all of my EgW rods have been flawless I believe one time I had a spring to heavy and the slide would not full return to battery. But generally these kits are great and really add strength to the gun!
