Handgun Guide Rod

Abstract

The present invention is directed to an improved guide rod with a flange comprising a partial lip that allows for improved contact with both the barrel and the frame of the handgun when the firearm slide is racked to further allow greater accuracy of the handgun upon discharge of a round.

1 . An apparatus for use with a handgun comprising: a screw, a bushing, a recoil spring, and a recoil spring guide rod. 
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said screw is of adequate outer circumference to secure a recoil spring. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said bushing arrests the screw and secures the guide rod. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said recoil spring is of a lesser diameter than the outer circumference of the screw.
