makofoto Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm confused ... slides are lightened for race guns ... but what about the spring guide, on something like a Glock34 ? Thanks ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Some do some don't. As for adding weight it's stationary weight not reciprocating weight you wanna add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gng4life Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I don't. My 2011 Open weighs over 48 ozs so there is no need for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I don't. My 2011 open weighs 37oz. Edited April 3, 2015 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I don't, I shoot a Open glock. Not sure what it weights, probably around 40 oz lol. I've also seen tungsten rods break. I've never seen a SS rod break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 They not only add weight they are way smoother when cycling so the gun actually feels better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parallax3D Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) The less reciprocating mass, the faster the gun can cycle.A heavier gun absorbs recoil, but is slower to transition between targets.Polymer guns probably need the tungsten rod to add non-reciprocating mass to manage recoil. Steel guns generally don't. Edited April 12, 2015 by Parallax3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I had one in my open glock 22. I liked it but I also has a SS one and couldn't tell a diff between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
