Tungsten Guide Rod

[Vince]

Anybody running a Glock with the tungsten guide rod?

I put one in my Glock 20, factory weight spring, and will test it Sunday afternoon with ball and bipedal defense loads. When I can find a 20# spring I’ll test the Buffalo Bore ammo.

The Tungsten Guide Rod is quite a bit heavier than the plastic guide rod that comes from the factory. While the recoil isn’t bad in 10mm I’m thinking anything that reduces recoil, added weight, and allows for faster follow up shots is a good thing.

Thoughts?

I've been considering the same thing for my G20 and G40. Looking at heavier spring for the hunting loads. I'll be watching this thread.

I have the steel guide rod and 20 pound springs in both my Glock 20 and lone wolf Timberwolf long slide. It seems to be s good compromise weight spring for all loads

Yes been running the GS Pure Tungsten on G20 with 22 pound spring and also on G21 (45 Super)
Adds some weight up front keeps muzzle rise down on recoil functions very smooth with KKM barrels.
