The Wilson Combat 670 Steel Guide Rod replaces the factory polymer guide rod in full-size Beretta 92 and 96 pistols with a precision-machined steel component that enhances reliability and reduces recoil spring binding. This upgrade addresses the common failure point of stock polymer guide rods while providing smoother slide operation and improved longevity.
What Makes This Different
Unlike factory polymer guide rods that can flex under spring compression and eventually fail, this steel guide rod maintains perfect alignment throughout the firing cycle. The Black Melonite finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing or phosphate coatings. Wilson Combat machines each guide rod from 4140 steel to exact tolerances, ensuring consistent performance across thousands of rounds.
Key Features
- 4140 steel construction eliminates polymer guide rod flex and failure
- Black Melonite finish resists corrosion and reduces friction
- Precision machined to factory specifications for drop-in installation
- Compatible with all full-size Beretta 92 and 96 series pistols
- Works with factory and aftermarket recoil springs
- Reduces slide binding during recoil cycle compression
- Made in USA with Wilson Combat quality standards
This steel guide rod performs consistently in high-round-count training scenarios where polymer components typically show wear. Law enforcement and competitive shooters benefit from the enhanced reliability during rapid-fire strings and extended shooting sessions. The Melonite finish maintains its appearance and function in humid environments and with minimal maintenance.
