Is Springfield teasing a 2011?

[Tokarev]

If anyone is looking to ditch the 2-piece guide rod and holed plug from a 4.25 model, Hilton Yam has the more traditional short Commander recoil guide and closed reverse plug on his website.

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like a great set up. When I get my 4.25 back from Geneseo, I’ll pick up this set up. I assume my gun will run without drama. That’s my hope!

EGW is offering a similar setup. They have a keyed version if you wanted to close off the front end.

Looks to me like I could use the stock spring for either of these options, unless there is a better choice recoil spring for a reliable functioning 4.25.

I’m patiently waiting for SA to fix my pistol and send it back to me, fully functional.

Just got my 4.25 back from Springfield. They had it about 3 weeks. It was hanging up on the disconnect, and having FTF issues.

They polished and recut the barrel ramp, reamed and polished the chamber, and polished the disconnect. They also installed 19# Wolff mainspring per the invoice.
They forgot to include my 17rd mag in the return, but have reached out and they are sending a replacement.

I received the atlas tooless guide rod and EGW slide stop while it was gone.

The atlas rod wants to hang up the slide occasionally, and the pin on the slide stop is going to need fitting. Definitely not drop in.

Removed the atlas guide rod, since it was hanging up slide, and went back to stock. May end up trying the 10-8 setup.

Range trip this weekend consisted of:
50rds S&B
50rds Blazer
50rds Norma
All 124gn. No issues whatsoever.

Before it couldn’t get through a full mag without it hanging up the slide, or the round hitting the feed ramp and going vertical.

What size pin did the EGW slide stop have? Was it a 200? Was it the prodigy specific slide stop they sell?

It was 200. It was the blued Prodigy specific slide stop here:
