Another vote for forward controls design.

Been using talon grips for a while. They work great and stay in place.

This maybe the case. I have to try to get some range time in with my carry guns, to see how my accuracy is doing. I'm wondering if I should actually be practicing more with the heavier triggers. Because if I have perfect trigger control with the heavier triggers, the lighter shouldn't be a problem?

I see what you are saying, thanks for reply. Before I got my 34 I really didn't do much dry firing, I am going to start adding in some dry fire with my carry guns. To help with transitioning between the two.

This is what happened to me, after a little bit of dry fire I got used to the other trigger again. But I got to thinking in a defensive situation I won't be able to get used to the difference.

He is replacing it. He said that he had few gen 5 guide rods go out by mistake without the proper hardening.

I added a few more photos showing the fit in the gun and the length. It's a gen 5. Jager sent me a dm and is going to make it right. Great customer service!

I went to the range today and while cleaning my glock 34 I noticed that there is some wear on the jager guide rod. One side of the base the finish worn off and it is slightly flattened. There is also a couple of scratch marks next to the flattened area. I don't see any new wear on the barrel or frame. So I am not sure where it is rubbing/hitting. I only shot 300 rounds since installing the guide rod. I was shooting federal champion 115gr. I had a 14lbs wolff spring on the rod. I have a tti trigger kit installed, if that makes a difference. I took some photos. Photo link

Do any of you guys find it difficult to switch between a light competition trigger and a normal defensive trigger? How often do guys train with your competition guns vs your carry guns? Having just got into compitition shooting, I have been concentrating on practicing and dry firing with my 34. My 34 has a tti spring kit and connector, the pull is pretty light compared to my 17 and 26. It is also more of a rolling brake. Today I decided to dry fire with my carry guns, and the trigger seemed so heavy compared to my 34. I felt like I had to really concentrate on not moving the front sight on the trigger pull. After a little bit of dry firing the trigger felt fine again.

Is magtech 9mm 124gr ammo any good? How does it compare to federal American eagle? Sg ammo has a good price on it, $169.80. Not sure if I should get some or spend some more on something better. https://www.sgammo.com/product/magtech-ammo-sale/1000-round-case-9mm-luger-124-grain-fmj-ammo-magtech-9b

I went ahead and ordered a set for my gen 5 34 and gen 5 17.

That's a neat idea. I have to make one of those.

Thanks for the replies. I went ahead and ordered a set.

Thanks for the detailed response. I will check for coil binding. I also ordered a taran tactical grand master kit. I am going to try it out. I was going to order a 5lb striker spring to use with the kit instead of the 4.5lb but Brownells doesn't seem to have any.

OK thanks

Yes, I see that they sell individual sight heights for fine tuning. But I am looking at the pre-made sets they offer. For instance they list the gen 5 17/19: .235 Front / .225 Rear and the 19X/45: .225 Front / .225 Rear. The 19 and the 19x/45 use the same barrel length. Why is one .235 vs .225? Then the gen 5 34 is listed as .215 Front / .225 Rear.

The guide rod only works with Wolff springs.

The base of the guide rod or the spring?

What factory ammo do you usually run? I was worried if I go to light it may batter the frame.

I am planning on getting a couple of sets of dawson sights for my glocks. Anyone know why the website lists different heights for each model on the gen 5s. The gen 4s are all the same height. They even have different heights for the 17/19 and the 19x/45. The 19x/45 is the same barrel length as the 19.

I will probably play around with the weights after I see how the 15lb works out.

How would I test to see if the spring is binding?

I am going to try to get to the range this weekend and try it out. The gun is a few months old and has a few hundred rounds though it. The Wolff spring did have a tapered end, I put it on towards the base of the rod. It still has the stock striker spring, should I try going down to a 5lb or 4.5lb spring?

I just installed a jager heavy guide rod and Wolff 15lbs spring. I went with the 15lbs because I am using non +p factory ammo, and several threads recommended 15 over 13 for factory ammo. I just installed the spring and guide rod, and the pistol is not passing a return to battery test when held vertical. I even tried adding a couple of drops of oil to the rod, because it felt a little gritty. Does the rod require a break in period? should I go with a 16lbs spring, but that is getting back towards factory weight.
