Rival Arms Tungsten Guide Rod Assembly for S&W M&P-9 4.25-inch

The Rival Arms Tungsten Guide Rod Assembly for S&W M&P-9 4.25-inch (brand part number RARA50M201T) replaces your pistol’s factory plastic guide rod with a dense tungsten unit that adds genuine recoil-dampening mass to the front of the slide. Plastic guide rods are a known weak point, prone to chipping, cracking, or breaking outright, and flex in a plastic rod can also open up your groups shot to shot. Rival Arms built this assembly to eliminate both failure modes while adding the muzzle-forward weight that helps tame recoil. It’s built for a lifetime of reliable service in your M&P-9.

• Built for a lifetime of reliable service.
• Fits the S&W M&P-9 with a 4.25-inch barrel.
