Well if you're going to swap the guide rod for a heavy rod for the purpose of decreasing muzzle rise then you might as well go with the (more expensive) Tungsten Guide Rod since it is even heavier than the Stainless.
I am really not a Glock guy so I am certain that others will chime in with more qualified advice though most of that advice will probably be "If it ain't
broke don't fix it."

Stick with the stock spring or if worn, replace it with one of the same strength. I can almost guarantee that you will have more malfunctions with a lighter recoil spring. Some have said it works alright, but I've seen several problems. All it takes on one malfunction at the wrong time to create a very bad day. The Glock engineers chose each spring weight for each pistol for a reason.
How does the change improve the gun's operation?Originally Posted by Dominator012
