A solid stainless steel guide rod from Springer Precision that replaces the hollow factory guide rod. This allows you to have the added benefits of extra weight towards the front of your pistol. This guide rod allows you to change out your recoil spring weights on the XDM elite and Echelon. Switching to the XDM guide rod on the Echelon makes it easier to change out recoil springs and doesn't require any special tools to do so. This guide rod requires the XDM recoil spring for the Echelon full-size linked below. Not for the Echelon Compact.

Does not work with the XDM Elite 10MM.
