hayes45 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I am thinking of adding a Tungsten guide rod to my G22 that I am using in limited. Please advise if this is a good idea. Also if any one knows were to find one, they seem to be back ordered at most places. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I like mine for the G35. Not sure if it would perform as well in a shorter gun. Adding weight to a Glock in the right places won't hurt it. Here is a good one. http://glockmeister.com/catalog/advanced_s...amp;x=8&y=4 Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrmn1 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I love mine in my 24 and I need to get one for the 35 I picked up a few weeks ago. I am using a T.H.E. I got from TopGlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockster35 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Would love to see a weight comparrison of the different manufacturers tungsten rods. I am using a SS extended rod by Tom Novak, It's not quite as heavy as Tungsten, but suits me for now, at least until I can see the difference of the tungsten rods.

Yea, I would be curious to see as well. There is quite a price difference from SS to tungsten, twice as much. I wish Brownells carried them because they normally have decent prices and have reasonable shipping. I started to order the tungsten from Glockmeister and when I saw the $10.00 shipping I backed out. I guess I will wait and try to find one used on the classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I installed it I could feel the added weight in the muzzle, and noticed a difference in muzzle flip. I also feel it helps to steady the muzzle for longer shots. For me it was a worth while investment. I was previously using two styles that I made. One was made Of CRS, and hardened. The other I made of 0-1 drill rod. There is a noticable difference in weight and performance with the tungsten. If you can find one in stock I say try it. You could recoupe most of your money if you don't like it. Good Luck BTW, I got mine from Matt @ CGR. I also believe his site list the weight difference's in different rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I like the short THE I have in my Production G35 (I use the short rod because I have other add ons on the pistol that go over the 1 oz. over factory gun wt. if I use the extended THE rod).

You're allowed to be 2 oz. over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're allowed to be 2 oz. over. You're right. My typo. But while the extended THE makes the limit by itself, adding dawson adjustables and TruGrip kicks over the 2 oz limit. I switched to fixed sights and can just squeeze under the (two ) oz allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifu128 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) I was looking for one as well to put in my G19. Would you guys advise to change the recoil spring as well from the standard? I think the factor one is 18 lbs if I am not mistaken. TIA Edited August 18, 2007 by sifu128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
