There is more than one. The XD45ACP Service model, like the XDSC is tricky to build for. There are a lot of energies involved.

Any updates on XD45ACP Service?

man, it's been a long time.. I wish rich could find his material.

Until a spring can be developed that will last more than 2K cycles I won't sell them. I have found no spring company that can make the spring last, it is grossly over stressed.

As Rich stated, the rod is the easy part. The difficulty is the spring and there is no spring available that anyone has found, that will work.

I understand that the the extra weight of the tungsten guide rod will help fight muzzle flip.

Does anyone have any experience with this new product from CC? I would like to hear some reviews before purchasing.

Is it for the Tactical only ? I don't see it for the Service ? Can you post the link for it, maybe I am missing it ?

Why can the original spring not be incorporated using the tungsten rod for the weight?

Because the tungsten rod isn't a captive spring design.

I know, but why not design a captive spring guide rod assembly using tungsten for the rod and use the original spring?

Hmmm I would try one.

I am not a designer nor machinist, but, seems like what everyone wants is the added weight of the tungsten not the added action of a different spring rate. So, I say use the stock spring with a tungsten rod.
