Description

This Guide Rod will fit XD(M) 4.5 and 5.25 models in 9MM, 40SW and 45ACP caliber. On 5.25 model, the Hammer end will not be visible. 

The “Hammer” Guide Rod by PistolGear, modeled after the aggressive texture found on a framing hammer, is a compilation of feedback collected over the years. XD(M) customers required a means of keeping their gun in battery after holstering. Perhaps you have noticed when running a light spring or an “old” spring, your gun is easily knocked out of battery.

By offering a guide rod where the end of the guide rod extends beyond the end of the stock barrel (on 4.5 model only), the slide is better protected and less likely to be knocked out of battery when holstering or if the weapon was to be place against a hard surface like a window or dropped to the floor. This product is ideal for those customers such as police officers and those with CCW permits where the gun must be ready at all times.

And, for those who shoot USPSA and IDPA, have you ever arrived to a port that required you to push the port open with your hand?  With the Hammer Guide Rod, the rod can be used like a battering ram, knocking the port open allowing you to keep both hands firmly on the gun’s frame.

  1. Jesse Garrison

    I really like how this guide rod looks on my XDM. It just looks tough and I like the idea that I am less likely to bump my gun out of battery. I run a pretty light spring and this give me a little more confidence. Great design and a great price.

  2. George from OH

    With the rod installed, the end of the tread pattern is just past the end of my barrel. I like how it looks and from the pictures I thought that maybe it would be sticking out much further than it does. I am very happy with this guide rod. I like the look the weight the idea of it. The price is excellent too and my gun looks mean. HAHA. Thanks Pistolgear for a great add-on.

    I buy items not for the aesthetics but for its functionality. It really helps keeping the gun in battery when holstering and the weight of this rod help keeps the muzzle down when recoil. It gives the pistol an even more perfect balance after installing. I love it and i would definitely recommend this to any XDm owners. rnrnAnd yes they look really mean.. This is a well thought of design. Thanks Pistolgear!)

    Great Service. I ordered this guide rod because I wanted a solid guide rod and saw the Hammer…. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!! The guide rod was delivered quickly and the quality of the product seems top notch. I have fired about 50 rounds from my xdm after install and I did notice less muzzle flip. The concept of keeping the gun in battery had never occurred to me however the Hammer guide rod will allow you to push a door open with the muzzle of your pistol and not worry about still being in full lock up . PistolGear.com Thank You for your service and great products!

    I bought one in black to pair with my .357 barrel looks cool and fit perfect. Haven’t tested the other “features” yet.

  6. Marcos

    It gives a much more aggressive appearance when looking at it from the front. Preforms flawless. I can’t really tell any difference as far as reduced recoil but overall it is way better than the factory especially from an aesthetics standpoint.

  7. Jason S

    A solid guide rod that adds weight and helps to reduce muzzle rise. Looks mean it too!

  8. FireMedic

    Mean as hell. I would hate to be the fool that tries to push on the slide to push my pistol out of battery! The tooling on the end of this would be brutal on the palm of an assailant. As far as reducing muzzle flip i havent had a chance to gauge that yet.

    I got the all black rod it’s solid not hollow it looks better in person i got this for my xdm 45 4.5”

  10. Jerry Richardson

    I bought this guide rod because it is solid and heavier than the factory guide rod. While the pictures give you an idea of what to expect the guide rod is really mean-looking when installed. I love the look.

  11. RTR

    This guide rod fits the 5.25” model perfectly.

  12. Michael Dukes
