G34 guide rod and spring suggestions

Steel rod and 13 pound spring.

+2 on this setup. I ran a 13lb spring for awhile and then switched to a 11LB ISMI and liked it better personally but was worried about the gun going out of battery. I shot the 11LB setup for a season but replaced it with the 13LB setup again because of reasons above.

Mine was a ISMI captured rod with ISMI 13lb spring. I think any good rod will do the job. Check that out or Glock store has some steel ones.

Some people like the Wolff springs but I like the ISMI personally. I bought both brands to see which one I liked there cheap so why not.

ISMI 11lbs. Never had a problem on a gen4 g17. I am running a 4lbs. Wolff striker spring though.

I never had a problem out of it either and loved it. I had a Vanek Trigger, Jager striker and springs. Ran like a top and it seemed to shoot flatter with the 11LB spring.

I know a lot of people have great luck with lighter recoil springs but my G34 was never 100% reliable with them. 13# ISMI recoil spring with stock striker spring would sometimes fail to go in to battery. 13# recoil spring with reduced power striker spring would always go into battery but I would get a few light primer hits. Loved the way the 13# spring felt, but gave up on it. Now I use a 15# recoil and stock striker springs. Doesn't feel any different than stock but is 100%.

Try a lightened striker with an extended firing pin or use Federal primers if you reload...

I'm running in my 34 Gen 4, ISMI 13 lb spring with Jager polymer guide rod, Jager striker with 3 coils cut off the factory striker spring, Wolff trigger housing and safety plunger springs. The Jager poly guide rod is 5 grams lighter than the dual-recoil factory spring assembly. I would prefer steel but IDPA stock service pistol division does not allow it.
