Steel & tungsten guide rods

[Philo_Beddoe]

Do they noticeably reduce muzzle rise or felt recoil in Glocks? If so, which make & model would you recommend for a G35 Gen 4 limited gun?

Thanks

With my Glock 35 Gen 3 Limited gun I used a GlockStore 15lb Tungsten guide rod. It seemed to work very well for me.

U mean 15lb spring and a tungsten guide rod.

I would say Tungsten is more noticable than the Stainless guide rods as far as the weight up front.

The stainless is still pretty light. Glockstore claims the stainless is three time heavier then the OEM polymer rod, the Tungsten rod is twice as heavy as the stainless.

I've got a full length un-captured in my G34 and can't really tell a difference. But it sure makes changing springs a snap.

i can't tell the difference in either my 34 or 35

i have both guide rods

With the gen 4 you also have the option of getting the adapter to use gen 3 guide rods or Glockstore (and maybe others) have Gen 4 tungsten dual spring set ups like the factory units..

I preferred the stock one in my G34 --- but I use a stainless steel one in my G24. Anyone know how much heavier a tungsten one would be compared to a steel?

Be aware that tungston is heavy, hard and brittle. My buddy had one break.

I've got the Jager extended in my G35, seems to tame some of the climb, maybe a mental thing. I feel my follow ups are faster though.

The tungsten is heavier then the stainless as the stainless is heavier then the stock polymer rod. I find run the stainless and think it is plenty of weight up front to assist with recoil, but like everything else it's all about what feels best for you.

When I was shooting the G35G4 in GSSF stock competition class, I used the G34G4 RSA for low PF loads. Also used the Jager hardened steel guide rod that allowed swapping G3 type springs for non GSSF.

They definitely help

i used the glockstore extended tungsten guide rod for the 1st time in a match yesterday in my limited G35. i can feel the weight of the recoil rod in the front on follow shots.

however, after the match when i cleaned my gun i noticed the recoil spring left kind of a rut-marks at a certain point on the rod !! i don't get it. and on top of that i noticed the tungsten extended guide rod is longer than the stainless extended guide rod offered by glockstore ! hmmmmm.......i heard many complains about tungsten extended rods breaking or chipping after few rounds, it tells me they should be hardened or hammered for more strenght. at this price point, such soft material is not acceptable, but anyhow i think it Worth it , i like the weight addition it provides. the regular tungsten guide rod with a catured spring however doesn't Worth it, it doesn't add much weight, i'd prefer running an extended stainless steel GR instead of the regular lenght TGR.

I use the Glockstore Gen 4 tungsten recoil assembly in my G35. Good quality and nice and heavy. No issues so far after 4000 rounds. It's also sprung a little lighter than the stock assembly which suits me just fine.

I like my steel one. I've read too much about the tungsten breaking. I don't like things breaking on a platform that is normally very reliable.
