I have a Springfield Loaded 1911 that has a two piece guide rod. I also have the Milspec 1911 that doesn't. What is the difference? I would like to switch to something that does not require the use of an allen wrench to take the pistol apart. Can I just switch out the rod and use a different spring cap or will that interfere with the performance of the pistol, which has been excellent? Has anyone else tried this modification?
I think there is a reason for the longer guide rod, but I don't know what.
Thanks.
