chgofirefighter Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Purchased a tungsten guiderod, just need springs. Can anyone direct as to which springs are needed for the M&P 2.0 Competition, 5 inch barrel? Need a 13lbs & 12lbs. Thanks~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpom Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Why not ask the tungsten rod manufacturer/seller which brand if springs are the best fit? The rod diameter was selected w a spring in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good point~ Thanks for pointing it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpom Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Who made the rod? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell ISMI and Wolff springs, depending on the guide rod you go with. I have the tungsten guide rod for Wolff springs, and it's been good to me so far.

iringsteel Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I used ISMI “flat” springs in various weights for forever. Never had an issue plus i felt cool using them… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ty_TC Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 What is everyone’s experience with the tungsten guide rods? A noticeable difference? Carver custom states “Test results show an average of 60% reduction in muzzle rise” with their tungsten guide rod… Sounds like that could be some funny numbering in the testing as muzzle rise has a direct correlation to grip pressure, wrist angle, wrist strength etc. Just curious if others have found them to be beneficial.

In my experience, yes. The extra weight does help with perceived recoil, as would adding weight to a firearm as light as an M&P. It can also mess with your transitions if you're used to doing them with the nonexistent weight, since the tungsten guide rod will throw off the balance of your gun forward. But none of it is as massive as the percentage suggests. It's just a small part that, when added with more small parts like your own training and other modifications to the pistol can end up making an overall big difference.
