guide rod and spring kit were shipped right away. arrived well packaged. fit perfectly, and looked like factory made part. 21 lb. spring feels better then stock 19 lb spring, and the fact that it is flat wire, will last much longer then round wire spring. not to forget if you have trouble reassembling slide and barrel to frame with factory recoil spring system? you will appreciate the simplicity of EGW setup. just have the take down pin (paper clip) handy when you take pstol down for cleaning and or maintenence.

Some fitting was required, less than 15 minutes. The slide shroud where the end of the guide rod "crescent" fit was a no go. Filed each side of guide rod piece until it would fit. Works great. Much smoother than original.

High quality component and great upgrade to the OEM part. It helped solve a brass to the forehead problem during ejection along with replacing the OEM extractor.

Minimal fitting before it slid into place. Looks fantastic and functions very well. Makes assembly and diassembly a breeze.
