I just checked mine and there is a micro bevel on the end. Almost not noticeable, but the start of the rod just above the bevel appears to be flared and is slightly larger diameter than the rest of the guide rod. This high spot is the only part of the guide rod that has lost it's bluing. Mine isn't broken so I'm not messing with it.

I asked them to put a bevel on the guide rod when I sent my Kahr in for service, and they did it, and it's much easier to install than before it was beveled. I doubt if adding a bevel would void your warranty, it's something they should do at the factory before releasing the gun. If you have another Kahr, just try and duplicate the bevel the best you can, and they will probably not even notice.Tom

My cw45 rod is not beveled. Something about that tight fit, just right spot to get it to go in,makes me feel good that I got it there. So what I have to struggle a little bit.lolComment

This is a picture of a beveled guide rod. Actually this may be a little overdone. It took me two minutes with a dremel to take off just enough of the squared edge of the guide rod to get it to insert smoothly without a hassle.Originally posted by MERCTECH View Post
