XD-45 Compact 4" Guide Rod - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I have a XD-45 Compact 4" and would like to replace the guide rod and spring with a stainless rod. I would also if possible like to reduce the recoil a little. My question, is this possible? Do you have anything yet for the compact version?

Thanks

From what I know the issue is not the Rod iteself but more-over the spring. The 45 requires a "thicker" rod than the 9mm,357,40,etc. Thus, the standard wolff spring isn't going to cut it.

I am looking for the guide rod for the xd45 compact also. Is the gentleman Don making them?

The XD-45 Compact 4" is the same as a XD-45 Service with a grip chop (if I understand things correctly). Don's currently working on guide rod for the 45 4" versions.
