Beautifully machined and finished like all EGW parts. Most importantly this is a flatwire spring which compresses evenly every time and increases the springs life 10X. First upgrade you should make, in my opinion.

It works, but having to carry around a paperclip to remove, and insert the guide rod is a terrible and inconvenient design. Dawson Precision appears to be a much better design. I'll be buying one in the near future.

Great drop in product. I bought the tooless guide rod and I didn't like how it bound up compared to the stock one. This one fits without issue having the 12lb spring with it makes it a nice drop in along with the keyed cap. Only wish is that it came with say a keyring pin tool so you always have a pin to make removal simple. It does come with the take down pin but it is tiny and easy to loose.

Im no enthusiasts when it comes to guns, but this is a great upgrade on my original prodigy guide rod. After some youtube videos, and taking my time, installation was easy. 12lb springs was my ultimate goal, the better quality guide rod is a bonus. ^^.

Great upgrade from the factory.

Perfect fitz! Way better than the OEM rod.

Very easy to install and it looks great. It's not tool less but it's easy to use. I prefer this egw guide rod over a tool less guide rod because there's nothing you have to worry about failing on it.

Works great! A little easier to take down than the stock guide rod.

Very easy to remove for cleaning. I do wish it was tooless.
