It's been a while but about 25 years ago there was an after market guide rod replacement for 1911's. you could get either the full length or normal short one but they had a flat spring in the end and a replacement link with a flat spot that the flat spring would lift when the 1911 would return to battery after firing a shot. the idea was to "lock" the barrel up in the slide to provide better accuracy and repeatability. it worked well in my opinion but now I can't find them and can't find any id on mine to track it back with. Can anyone tell me if they are still around or obsolete? It was a poor man's accurizer!
I found them! it is called a Dwyer "Group Gripper" and you can get them at Brownells. I can attest that they work but you will need to adjust the rear sight.
