This guide rod kit is MADE FOR the Springfield Prodigy® 4.25". It will ALSO WORK FOR the Springfield Emissary 4.25".
This kit uses a 1/4" diameter guide rod, flat wire ISMI spring, and EGW's fully machined reverse plug.
In independent testing, ISMI spring have endured in excess of 100,000 compression cycles. EGW® doesn't recommend going that long between changes however. With an ISMI spring, practice routine maintenance and change it once a year.
