RJH Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 It may not heavy enough, but youcan fill the factory rod with lead. You might try pistol gear or powder river . That's about all i got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRussell Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The only ones currently on the market as a complete guide rod are available from PistolGear and are for the XD45 Tactical and the XD Mod2/XDM. Both styles out of stock currently. http://www.pistolgear.com/proddetail.php?prod=PG065B http://www.pistolgear.com/proddetail.php?prod=PG066B Springer Precision makes a tungsten insert, but I believe it is only for the XDM.

Demp223 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I purchased tungsten rod .300 diameter. 12” rod for $100. Able to make 4 inserts for several XDm’s. 2.7oz per insert slides right into stock guide rod. Had a bit left over to make additional weights for inside grip covers.

Jlr99 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Buy two 1/8" tungsten welding rods. Cut to length (each rod will give you two pieces). Rough up the inside of the guide rod with a chainsaw file. Fill with epoxy (I used Gorilla brand) and insert the four tungsten rods. The rods will fit tight with no wiggle. Wait 24 hours. Shoot.This is heavier than the stainless steel guide rod. Total cost $8.00.Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
