    Should I get a Don's solid guide rod with a 18# Wolff spring? I was on Wolff's website and they had a rod/spring package for $30, I wasn't sure if it was a solid or hollow rod since it wasn't stated. I only shoot 230gr rounds if that matters at all

    Are you unhappy with how your gun runs now? What is the benefit to the rod, accuracy?

    I'm no gunsmith, but replacing a hollow guide rod with a solid one adds a little weight to the gun and does so at the barrel end where it can reduce muzzle flip.

    Let us know if you do buy it. Especially me. I have the same pistol. I like mine just fine, but if it can be better, why not???
