This listing is for the metal recoil spring guide (GUIDE-4) only.

Factory Steel Guide Rod

SIG Sauer describes it plainly: “Factory replacement steel guide rod for P228, P229, P250C in 9/40/357 SIG.” If your classic compact SIG is running a worn or damaged guide, this is the OEM metal piece that goes back in with the recoil spring.

Published Fitment

SIG Sauer’s product page lists model fitment as M11-A1, P228, P229, and P250. Match the guide to your pistol’s recoil assembly before ordering if you are unsure which generation you have.
