| I just picked up a used Gen 3 40 cal. There was someone telling me at the range that changing the guide rod to a stainless steel rod would take alot of the recoil out of it. I am new to the glocks. The recoil doesnt seem to bad but it did have me wondering if this is true????? |
| Changing to a stainless rod wont do much if anything for felt recoil but it will give you the ability to change spring weights which will have a large effect on felt recoil. Tungston rods will allow the same spring changes and a quite a bit heavier than stainless which will also change muzzel rise and felt recoil, BUT Tungston rods are very expensive. I use stainless rods in all 17 Glocks I own to change spring weights not for weight because I have no issues with muzzel rise or recoil for that matter. It just allows me to keep the gun cycling properly when I change ammo. |
