Our full length guide rod is a simple drop in part for your Hammerli Forge H1 1911-22, 5" inch Barrel. Each guide rod comes with a stainless steel spring plug and three (3) replaceable recoil buffers. The stainless steel guide rod is machined from a single piece of stainless steel. The base is slightly thinner than the base on the stock guide rod so that a recoil buffer can be added to help reduce the wear on the slide. The buffers are designed to wear out and will need to be replaced as needed. This guide rod works with factory recoil springs. DOES NOT FIT THE 4.25" VERSION. IF YOU HAVE THE 4.25" VERSION CLICK HERE

5 of 5 Perfect fit, smooths out the action February 9, 2026
Reviewer: CJB from Oak Ridge, NC United States  
Purchased this to replace the partial length, plastic guide rod.  The full length guide rod adds a little weight where needed, and smooths out the action.

4 of 5 Looks great but buffer pads too thick January 28, 2026
Reviewer: Eric Thiesen from Greer, SC United States  
Awesome looking full length guide rod fits great except the buffer pad is just a hair too thick. You have to slightly force the slide back on which I don't like. Pads could be a few thousandths thinner. Fyi a full length guide rod probably isn’t necessary but looks cool especially when paired with the stainless barrel bushing.

5 of 5 Must need for a real gun. November 13, 2025
Reviewer: Dwayne Klien from Chandler, AZ United States  
I've been in the shooting world for over 60 years or more now, I like the feel and weight on real metal guns, I could never adapt to the 1/2 & 1/2 ones or those with a lot of plastic parts in them. With this metal guide rod, now I have a true firearm, and it was very easy to change out the plastic one.
