Description
Grayguns unique step-tapered design and unmatched surface finish afford easy installation with optimum recoil spring support. Proper spring support ensures maximum spring life and smooth cycling.
Grayguns’ fat guide rods are designed to optimally support factory SIG Sauer® and Grayguns custom multi-strand springs* for maximum service life and smooth, reliable function.
Being made to the maximum nominal diameter to fit each pistol perfectly, our fat rods also eliminate the possibility of coil-jumping and damage when used with correctly-selected after-market single-strand recoil springs.

Unlike other, cheaper products, our fat rods are made from proper material, hardened and stress-relieved stainless steel to withstand a lifetime of hard use.
Guide Rod Features
- Ensures smooth cycling of the pistol slide

Installed this guide rod into my west German p226. It filled the circumference gap left by the original part. Very pleased with the purchase.

I have several of these in P320F’s, and would like to see them for the P320Ccompact. With the first installation, the slide felt smoother in cycling, and the option of substituting various spring weights allows for tuning with different handloads. I’m very happy with the results; All my full size P320’s use the Grayguns fat guiderods; some stainless silver, some black. The fat guiderods are installed in my P220’s, P226’s, and P229’s, as well. They are a better fit with all the pistols, than factory or other aftermarket guiderods.

This guide rod is about twice the circumference of the oem guide rod. Popped right in and fit perfectly. Functions like a champ.

Itching to make my P320 a little more special than it already is, I ordered this when it was on sale. Do the guide rod and spring make a difference? I’m not really sure. I’m really not that good of a marksman. However, having yet another part designed by Bruce Gray on my pistol makes me feel a little more superior to people who carry an unmodified P320. And, it looks so much better than the one it replaced. It is smooth cycling the action and feels very solid with less side to side movement.

This is a perfect update to the OEM plastic rod. It’s what Sig should have installed originally.

I ordered the fat guide rod wanting a solid foundation for my P226 MK25. Grayguns delivered! It is a solid guide rod that will definitely never wear out, a great replacement for the factory hollow guide rod.

I upgraded a p229 with the Grayguns Custom Strut, ELS, SRT kit, Fat guide rod and dual-adjustable straight trigger. It made a night and day difference. It transformed a nice gun into a stellar gun!

I don’t mind making mods on almost anything, and once I felt the slide movement of the P229 was so gritty, I was Jonesin’ to get this when I saw GrayGuns had this guide rod upgrade and that it had great reviews. Easiest upgrade you can imagine, and it smooths out the slide action almost like it’s on bearings. It’s hard to believe that Sig could have a weapon on the market at this price point and miss a fine detail like this. The tolerances here are far superior to the stock rod. Sig should make it a standard part upgrade.

This Fat Guide Rod fits well and function fine.
I like the added weight to the front end of the muzzle as well.
Not too heavy but a little assist for muzzle flip never hurt anyone., love it!
Will buy more as any new Sig will now get on too!

These guide rods are an excellent remedy for cheesy OEM rods, and add a bit of front balance. Of interest, not mentioned in the product notes is Bruce’s inspiration for these “fat” guide rods: As I recall his story, he had a slide spring escape past a guide rod out of the front of the slide, disabling his pistol – during a match! It turned out that the guide rod was somewhat undersized, whereupon he turned some new rods to maximum, i.e., “fat” dimensions. Whatever the background, I’ve never had this problem using Grayguns guide rods – and they look good, too!

Installed this guide rod on a Sig P226 Elite Stainless. Shipment arrived fast, and it’s clear the product quality is of the highest level. I plan to add additional Gray Guns parts to further refine my Sig P226. Amazing and truly the best!

Fit was perfect and closed the guide hole enough so my single coil recoil springs can be used.

Installed this guide rod on a a P320 FCU build. Fits and functions well. I like the fact that it uses the 1911 recoil spring so I have the ability to adjust spring tension as needed.

Absolutely awesome upgrade for my custom Sig Sauer P320 FS Pro Cut Slide Assembly, with Sig P320 FCU, Sig FS (4.7”) OEM Barrel, & WCP P320 Carry Grip Module in Black. The Gray Guns Black Magic FS Guide Rod & Recoil Spring are definitely a must! Prefect fit, exceptional quality. I installed another set on my Sig P320 FS OEM as well. Highly Recommend 👍
