not the weight of the Tungsten but more accurate and reliable that the plastic OEM...
How is it either of those things?
Excellent question. Inquiring minds want to know how changing a guide rod affects accuracy.
1. Accuracy with the Glock system is greatly affected by the tightness in lock up
2. The polymer factory guide rod is often not straight, leading to inconsistent tracking of the slide
3. OEM guide rod failures do happen,( Glock Armorer since 1994 I have seen about 1/2 dozen) tungsten guide rods have failed as well. Often binding the action and downing the gun.
4. ANYTIME you can increase the "tightness" of the lockup between the slide, barrel you increase accuracy. When coupled with superior Wolfe springs the SI guide rod does so.
5. Its 4140 hardened steel and Melonited for lubricity...it is not going to break...period...do you want the driving force of your action to rely on a plastic part or one like this...now if you don't carry your gun CCW, as a duty gun, or as a war fighter...it may not matter to you...to some it does...
6. There are many parts of my guns I will not fuck with...TRIGGERS=OEM, FIRING PINS=OEM, CONNECTORS=OEM, MAGAZINES=OEM...I do notthink there are parts out there that are as reliable, better or durable as these...Slides=SI, BARRELS =STORM LAKE, KKM or SI MATCH, SPRINGS=WOLFE, GUIDE RODS =SI
