NWfront Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Anyone else noticing a need to run a slightly heavier spring in the Gen 5 to get the same results? I think the new longer guide rod is reducing a bit of spring preload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumberjack149 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Wolff. On my gen 3 I run 13# recoil w/ 4.5# striker. When I tried this on my gen 5 it was questionable on keeping the gun in battery when pulling the trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWfront Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I picked up another rod for my 17 but this time I went with the ISMI spring to compare. I found I could still run a 13lb but the 15lb felt better. Most of my other Glocks use ISMI so I will stick with those but either spring seems to work well in 15lb with my Gen 5's.

wtturn Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Is anyone making the heavy + extended guide rods for the gen5 34s yet? I see that Jager makes the Heavy but I'm wanting the one that extends the length of the long G34 slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derdang Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I own both Glock 34 Gen 4 & 5. I recently purchased the Jager guide rod for my Gen 4. I was planning on using same guide rod for my Gen 5 before I read this post. The Gen 4 guide rod fits the Gen 5. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

matto6 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Bumping an old thread because I have the same problem and am confused. I have a Gen 5 Glock 34. I purchased NDZ adapter NDZ-G4-ADPT-BLK, which says "Turn our Gen 1-3 Guide Rod Assembly for Glock into a Gen 4-5 ready version"https://www.ndzperformance.com/NDZ-Glock-Gen-1-3-Adapter-Gen-4-5-Guide-Rod-Black-p/ndz-g4-adpt-blk.htm And tried to use it with their Gen 1-3 Guide rod NDZ-G17-G3-RPR which I was using on my Gen 3https://www.ndzperformance.com/NDZ-RPR-Guide-Rod-Gen-1-3-Glock-17-17L-22-24-25-31-p/ndz-g17-g3-rpr.htm It's too short for the Gen 5 Glock 34. What am I missing? Their page says it will work, and people above me are showing picture of it working. (Yes I'll call them Monday, but I was hoping to shoot later tonight!)

Aircooled6racer Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Hello, I think the gen 4 guide rod they are using is the uncaptured one with the adapter. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric I don't think so because the web page explicitly mentions installing it under the screw"The G4 Guide Rod Adapter must be installed in place of the guide rod washer underneath the end screw to function accordingly. These will not work when installed ahead of the guide rod assembly." They even show installing it here: Edited May 16, 2021 by matto6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Hello, a Gen 3 captured guide rod will not be long enough for a Gen 5 G34 or G17 as you have found out. I think they are referring to their extended G34 Gen 3 guide rod not the captured Gen 3 one. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I'm not sure about the NDZ, but I ended up going with a Carver uncaptured extended stainless guide rod for my Gen5 G34. I use it with a bushing and 13 lb ISMI recoil spring and it works fine. https://www.carvercustom.com/ecommerce/carver-guide-rods-springs/glock-guiderods-springs/carver-custom-guiderod-for-glock-models-5888.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto6 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Thanks everyone. Decided to just order a Tungsten guide from the glock store, made specifically for the gen 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hello, get one from Jentra not the Glock store. There regular tungsten guide rod from the Glock Store is brass and tungsten and I am not sure how much of it is really tungsten.

Intheshaw1 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Jentra has a gen 5 specific tungsten guide rod out now, NDZ has some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpm8300 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm sure everyone is tracking the ability to add lights - on a Glock frame, it definitely makes a difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto6 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Yeah I'm debating that too. Too damn many options at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
