5.24 .45 competition broken Wolff guide rod.

[bjl95mustang]

Has anyone ever had a failure like this on a Wolff Solid guide rod for a 5.25 Competition? This was after a 50 round box.

I’d contact Wolff, m’self.

I have 2 of the precision 5.25" xdm's (40s/w, 10mm) and no issue with the factory gr.

Yep!

I contacted Wolff. They said they have had them break with a 24lb spring. But not with the 18lb.

I have to go through the dealer I bought it from for the warranty.

I got the gun used and the factory spring was worn out and the factory gr had a little wear. I’ll probably go back with a stock rod after this.

Their rods are so hard they are brittle. I bought one to run in my 5.25 10mm. It broke during the first magazine. Wolff replaced it but it just sits in a drawer. Factory rod went back in to the gun with the Wolff 22lb spring.

Anything can break. Get a new one and forget about it.

I have a Springer Precision guide rod and a 26# spring in my 4.5 OSP 10mm. No issues.

I leave all my guns stock, even the g19 with polymer guide rod, never had a issue with it, still same one in there from new
