I'm new to USPSA, but I don't think it would be legal because tungsten may add too much weight to the front of your pistol and could be considered as a "compensator". I hope I helped.

Well,

If the guide rod weighs 3.2 ounces, and you must be within 2 ounces of the listed weight on the Production gun list.....

With the guide rod in, it's already too heavy.

I guess that depends on what your stock guide rod weighs. You most likely have already added some weight with the current modifications.

it's legal...Rich puts them in his "Production Ready" guns

I just shot the Ohio match on Saturday with a guy that had an XDm 9mm and he was .4 ounces under with a tungsten guide rod. He could not remember which one he has though.

I just put a solid guide rod from Springer Precision in my XDM 9mm. It made a very real difference. Shot some steel using it and my sons gun (same gun, set up the same, but without the solid guide rod)and the difference is very noticeable. I ran it with a 16lb spring and for me the combo felt very nice. I haven't weighed my gun, but from what I've read and been told, it will still meet the weight limit for production.
