Having owned that exact same RIA, and also understanding how nice the toolless guide rod is, you're taking it apart the hard way with the one piece rod. All you have to do is lock the slide back, insert your pin/paperclip in the hole in the guide rod, and then release the slide stop. That takes the tension off the spring and allows you to disassemble it like a normal 1911.
Sunday revelation. Reseating the guide, "pull back on bushing and let it pop in"! That is what stopped by to view......1911 maintenance requires additional attention, but it will work....Thank you.
Thanks for the video! It pretty much persuaded me from buying this Dawson tool less guide rod. Almost same pain as using a paper clip. I have a similar 5" 10mm RI 1911 and every time dissembling and reassembling was a pain in the ass.
Glad I could help! If you haven’t subscribed please do and also hit that like button! It’s great upgrade for sure I really liked it over the factory setup. Thanks for watching!
It honestly can be a pain to put the spring and bushing back on the rod sometimes if you take it apart to clean it but for just a quick take down it does make it easier for me rather than having to find a paper clip for the factory rod If you haven’t yet please hit that subscribe button!

Looks much more convenient than factory. Thanks for sharing!
It’s easier to put the pin in the hole with the slide still on the pistol
THIS.....

I'm glad I came across this video. Thank you
I have the same pistol & it's still fairly new with only 200 rounds. This will be a big help.
Glad I could help!

Handy video 👍 Nice clean Rock 10mm.
I ordered one of these guide rods. I'm looking forward to no longer hording paper clips like a magnetic secretary.
Hahahaha
Brother, You need a gun mat to work on ! 1911's are great pistols
They both look like a pain. Why the redesigned it is a mystery. Good reason to buy one of the 1,000 other versions instead.

Will this guiderod fit the RIA 10mm with a 6" Bull Barrel? All I can find on their site are 5 inch. I'm hoping they are the same.
I’m honestly not 100% sure I believe they are different due to barrel length
@@BlacktopTactical Thanks for the reply! I just emailed Dawson to ask them about it. I'll let you know what they say.
No problem! Please do I’m curious myself
@@bkilpatr100 So what did they say then?
@@BerettaFan Oh shoot. Sorry. They said they don't make them. No plans to either.
link to the guide rod?
A 10mm? Jesus what are you trying to do touch god or something?
Hahahaha
This dude doesn’t even know how to properly take down a 1911 don’t listen to him!
