Taurus PT1911 Guide Rod
I have a Taurus PT1911 on the way. I don't want to hear anything bad about them, that's not the purpose of this post.
What I want to know is can I replace the full-length guide rod with a standard 1911 plug and short rod?DISCOUNTS - Steel Target Paint: beaverje10 (10% off) | Wiland USA: jbeaver05 (5% off)

Re: Taurus PT1911 Guide Rod
I think so. I'm pretty sure you have to, because the one for the full length rod, won't fit a traditional one. I have no idea what he got, except that he got a much heavier recoil spring than before. He's not here, or I'd ask him. I know he ordered it from Brownell's.

Stay with Wolff springs at 16lbs. Variable or straight rate are fine.

Re: Taurus PT1911 Guide Rod
I had one for years and can say it NEVER failed right out of the box. I personally have nothing against full length guide rods but you came to the right place for information about changing them.
