A heavier guide rod makes a huge difference. Especially if you're a competition shooter. And recoil isn't the reason. Heavier guide rods reduce muzzle flip. It's simple physics.

@@rafars2246 very quick to be a dick I see. For the record OP kinda missed stated what he was saying. Yes competition shooter for sure are going to use a "metal guide rod" more for durability than " muzzle rise. Their guns are already heavy to counteract recoil and muzzle rise along with porting and compensators too. Small CCW's are where I see most people using heavy guide rods.

Both the glock 19.5 and 23.5 share the same recoil spring weight of 18lbs. Your perceived felt recoil reduction is because it's a new captured guide rod. Your gun is cycling slower with a new out of the box 18lb gen 5 guid rod, slightly less muzzle flip... Once you put 500-1000 rounds through it, recoil will feel the same. Glock Models: 17, 20, 21, 22, 24, 31, 34, 35, 37, 40, 41 - Factory Stock Spring weight is 17lbs.

[@airsoftmechanic]

Nothing wrong with Stainless Steel. It’s all up to you on what you want to do. I’m keeping mine factory made

[@blackhawk7r221]

It’s not that your stock rod needs improvement, it’s the 70 grams of tungsten weight you are adding to the forward part of your pistol that helps tame muzzle flip. Clamping lead under the front will do the same thing. Yet we will buy cut out and machined slides to look cool, reducing weight and mass, thus adding to muzzle flip. Glock pimpin’ ain’t easy.

[@713KaiWin]

Actually you are right and wrong. The cut outs in slides actually reduce muzzle flip in that the reciprocating mass is reduced and doesnt slam into the shooters hand as forcefully. Furthermore, a reduced weight slide can also help reduce muzzle dip (given the same recoil spring weight as a heavier slide) as the lighter weight doesnt slam into battery as forcefully. The weight on the frame that isnt moving is good for recoil though.

[@dirtyharry2029]

Ok so a couple things about this. 1: Why are you trying to get "less recoil" from 9mm in a full size pistol? It doesn't have that much "recoil" as it is. 2: If you are trying to lessen recoil with guide rod "weight" you are going to fail. Muzzle rise is where you see a difference. 3: The heavier the gun is the less likely you will feel a difference in a "Tungsten" guide rod. So a G17/19 etc you will notice very little difference due simple to the mass of the whole package. 4: The exception to is when you get into the smaller guns such as the the 43x and 48. I can tell with 100% assurance THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. I swapped to a Glock Store "Pure Tungsten Guide Rod" and boy the difference was noticeable.($140 bucks so kinda one of those things). My goal was to build a flatter shooting 43x MOS with my Holosun 507k and TLR-7 sub(glock). By it self the rod was noticeable but with the light is where I really feel a difference. Side note the full package on my G43x MOS currently is G43x MOS w/ TLR-7 sub, pure tungsten guide rod, Ameriglo dot over dot sights to cowitness, Holosun 507k on CH precision plate, Pyramid Trigger by Glock Store, extended controls, TRUE Precision threaded barrel(along with the OEM barrel with no compensator if I need a shorter package) and a Harrington Arms compensator. Ohh and 15 round Shield mags obviously. All fitting nice right into my Werks holster even with the compensator. I am still in the "test" mode with the gun playing with different part configurations to see what I like best so stuff may change over time back to OEM.

[@QKuKier]

@@airsoftmechanic you are aware that with use the springs will change length, and just comparing spring size doesn't prove anything? You'd have to measure their strength on the video, preferably brand new assembly for G23 and G19, just "noticing" isn't enough

[@airsoftmechanic]

@@QKuKier I would suggest watching the video again as I stated that while the spring lengths were different, it 1. Wasn't much of a big deal and 2. The G19 guide rod could have been the same length and compressed overtime with use (highly likely). 2nd, the springs themselves on the G23 guide rod are stronger since the G23 takes in a .40 cal bullet instead of a 9mm. Had I had both a brand new G19 and a G23 side by side, or had the tool that measures the spring strength, I wouldn't hesitate to demonstrate either one. Unfortunately, both are easier said than done.
