This tungsten guide rod should be checked by a gunsmith familiar with the 1911 design. It may require minor fitting to contact the frame evenly. Failure to do so may lead to premature wear and/or breakage which will not be covered under warranty.
STI Guide rods are made specifically for STI models as the button on the end of the guide rod is smaller in diameter than a standard guide rod.
The takedown hole in the guide rod allows for easy disassembly/reassembly.
The head of the guide rod has smooth beveled edges to make for a seamless look.
Check for fit in 3 areas:
(1) Barrel feet should not contact head
(2) Where guide rod rests against frame
(3) Back surface of slide/dustcover is flat and even.

Heavy and awesome. If you don't shoot flatter you'll at least get a workout swinging around the extra weight.
Works well
Had to do some slight fitting on the head. It works well and definitely adds weight to the muzzle. I added a heavy stainless mainspring housing to re-balance the gun. The combination is fantastic.
