Does anyone know anything about these guide rods???
Does anyone use one of these guide rods in their Glocks??? How do you like it???? Does it really WORK?????? |

What pistol model are you shooting? Is the recoil on your pistol causing you to have bad follow up shots? What are you trying to accomplish?
You can do custom spring on a stainless steel rod for less and have multiple springs. Personally I would not waste my money when I can buy a stainless rod and several spring weights and get the same results. Plus even my friends who do not do well with heavy recoil all do fine shooting my G32 or 21 SF and it has some good recoil. But is remedied with a different spring. Hope this helps. |

Some have had luck with the tungston guide rod from lonewolf with a 20 or 22lb ISMI spring. I'm trying a stainless steel rod and a 20 pound spring next range trip.
I felt that the tungston rod might be too heavy, I wasn't trying to reduce flip as much as just getting a slightly heavier spring in there. |

I am looking at reducing the muzzle flip on my G23. What weight springs would you use???????? A 13 pound spring would help with flip but make sure the firing pin spring allows the slide to go into full battery and locks up correctly. If you go down that low look at changing the firing pin spring also. The stock weight on your glock is 17. But remember one shooter shots differently from all the rest so each individual is different and what works for you may not work for me vise versa |

OP, is this gun for carry or competition? Just curious. Lower spring weights can change felt recoil and muzzle flip, but sometimes at the cost of reliability, or as this poster has pointed out, having the pistol go into battery correctly, everytime. I usually don't advocate these kinds of aftermarket parts in Glocks to "change things", as they usually run best when left stock. I usually recommend more training, solid trigger time, the proper grip and stance, to really MASTER the weapon and it's recoil characteristics. 1,000 rounds of "doing it right" can really go a long way toward mitigating your problems with recoil and muzzle flip. That is why 9mm appeals to alot of people. Less snappy, less flip, for some folks. Something to think about.
