Despite several excellent reviews here, I wanted to add my own thoughts on the 10-8 GI guide rod and reverse plug combo for my TRP Operator. My gun was one of those which came with the full length guide rod that isn't beveled on the back end thus it was hitting the barrel 'legs' potentially causing irreversible damage over hundreds of rounds fired. This was one of the few great options to remedy that issue without waiting to send my regular guide rod to SA for servicing and having to wait for them to return it. They are indisputably excellent quality products, the conversion for my TRP went as smoothly as it could possibly go, I cannot wait to start putting countless rounds down range and being able to take-down the firearm in 'no-time' to clean it up before duty calls :). Thanks Hilton for making such top-notch products!

Fits perfectly, nicely beveled, and makes takedown of TRP Operator easier when combined with the reverse spring plug

Quality material and construction, and no fitting required. The beveling is a nice touch too

Just got a gi rod and plug set for my springer to replace there 2 pc junk. Wow so much better. Great quality, looks and fit.

The spring guide appeared to be manufactured well, however I have not fired my pistol since installing it. I was very pleased with the quick service once I ordered the item.

This addition with the 10-8 slide stop and a 13# single spring really worked out nicely on the Colt 1911 in 9mm

Looking at all other GI style doing guides out there, this is the only one that reaches up onto the face of the frame rails therefore distrinlbuting the load evenly. Frame cracking at dust cover is likely a result of the ears of guide rod sitting too low on other brands. Great product

Drop in components that require absolutely no fitting are far and few between. This is one of them..!! No de burr, chamfer or handiwork needed to install what so ever. Material, machine work and finish are flawless.Bevel on frameside should be standard spec on any 1911 spring guide. Used this with a Sarco supplied Black Ops Hi-Cap frame and Heavy Armor barrel, 20lb vari spring /USGI plug/Colt 5" slide. A part that works as delivered... Thanks 10-8

Perfect fit, excellent finish, works flawlessly. A great simple upgrade.

This is a well made and well engineered GI guide rod. The base is beveled too. No fitting needed for my Springfield TRP.
