Default Lehigh Defense range Rod!!!

What do you guys think about different colors for different calibers??? Like Red for a 50, Green for a 45, Blue for a 54?? The rods are versatile to any caliber but just thinking.

could care less about the color of the handle. I have the original and use it for all calibers. Just change out the loading jag and go.

Good to see someone is bringing it back though. Never understood why Knight dropped it.

Nice. Diff colors would be cool as an option, but I'm not sure it needs to be coordinated with a size. The rod itself (should) be one size fits all I would think, only the jag would really change.

I like my Knight rod, high quality product.

I just swap out the jag that I want to use. I use spin jag originals for the two calibers that I shoot the most.

Color coding might lead to a real problem in which and how many would a retailer need to carry - just another way that the cost could get driven up...

One rod - different jags - pretty simple...

They are one size fits all, just change the jag to your liking.

I would just go with either Black or Silver/Stainless and just change the Jag's.

It is easy to swap out a jag so that is no problem, a stepped or tapered bushing would make the same ro suitable for use with all calibers.

They have already decided to stay with red as a safety feature. When you look at the whole picture probably a good idea to.

Red is a good color and that is a great rod! My favorite for sure. Just makes loading on the range a real pleasure.
