I have broken down my two stainless 1911 for cleaning etc. I believe they have full length guide rods.
I recently got a Rock Island Armory basic parkerized full size 1911 and it has a lot of spring in there and space where there is no guide rod between the plug and the short guide rod.
I have two questions really ...
1. Is it better to have a full length rod?
2. Would it fit if I replaced the short one with a full length with something from say ... Wilson Combat?
Take down of the RIA was rather sloppy and I am afraid the spring will easily bend out of shape without a Full length guide rod.
Thank you.
