Does anyone know where I can get a replacement or upgraded guide rod for a

Springfield 1911 Lightweight Champion Operator 45ACP.​

Isn't the champion the same as a commander length gun, so if it is, would just a commander guide rod work?

No; it’s a 4” bull barrel, and uses a FLGR.

A true commander is 4.25”, and uses a 2-piece GI style guide rod.
