Over the last 4 decades, our Tungsten Guide Rod has held strong as one of our best selling product and for good reason! Most people don't know that their Glock comes with a flimsy plastic guide rod. Our Tungsten Guide Rod is heavier and stronger, making a dead weight under the reciprocating slide allowing us to guarantee a reduction in recoil and make you a faster, more accurate shooter.
Let's start a conversation in the comments! I read every single comment!

I understand what the guy is saying. I never actively shot a handgun until 2020. Initially I had similar problems to what this guy is talking about and when I am shooting multiple successive shots regaining target acquisition is definitely a skill learned with any gun. The less the barrel and the guide rod weighs the more the weapon will kickback. Using Tungsten steel for the guiderod will reduce kickback slightly. Anyone who's used to shooting the Glock from the factory like you and me would probably have to shoot a few hundred rounds before we could make an accurate assessment to how such a change would be. This guy is indeed just selling a product but I wouldn't mind getting a hold of that steel rod and going to the range.

My Glock 42 had malfunction issues and was very temperamental with different kinds/brands of ammo, even after sending it back to the mfr for repairs. But after installing Lenny's tungsten guide rod, my Glock works like a charm.(Yes, it came new with the gen 3 magazines)

The first thing that I did to my Gen 3 Glock22 was to replace the guide rod and spring. I had a gunsmith do a trigger job on it. I replaced the slide release lever with an extended one and replaced the slide removal bar with one that protrudes a little more. I always had difficulty with the factory one when field stripping the pistol. I installed a Magpul beveled mag well and put a Pachmyr rubber grip sleeve on it. Now, it runs like a champ. I picked up a threaded Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel and a bunch of Glock 17 mags, so I would have more ammo options. Love the pistol now.

My first glock purchase was a g27. The guy I bought it from did a few small modifications to it, and one was the guide rod. I can always tell when I pick one up that has the original, because it's so light. People give me a little flack for my little Glock, until they throw some lead using it. Still my favorite little companion.

I have several blocks and I've owned several others. The first things I replace is the plastic sights and I go with night sights. The next thing I replace is that guy rod. I go with the metal guide rod. I haven't gone to a tungsten but the metal guy ride improves the functionality and the shoot in the field so much and it could be just need thinking it but I've handed it to so many people that didn't know it and they could feel the difference from their own personal to what I had. And then recently I have found out just replacing the trigger shoe also improves so much the shoot the feel that everything

Lenny, you look happier in Tennessee. I remember buying your VHS videos from your parents at gun shows. Your dad told me after you made Rock N Roll #3 that he hoped you got it out of your system. Well, no more girls in swimsuits firing machine guns, but you have done well for yourself. Thanks for all the videos. You taught me a lot. I have an idea; It's been 40 years now, so how about Rock N Roll #4, Grannies in swimsuits firing machine guns (with a better musical score)? "More skin, more jiggle." ...It was just an idea. 🙂 I wore out my VHS copy of RnR4 I think. Or maybe my wife threw it out. I don't remember. Do you sell DVDs?

Love your video's Mr. Lenny. First time Glock Owner, 43X and like it so far. However I'm starting to learn why it took me so long to purchase a Glock. I Payed extra for the MOS, $80.00 for a guide rail, another $100.00 + for the trigger upgrade another $100.00+ for decent sights. I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have spend a couple hundred more and bought a better quality EDC out of the box. There's a saying; "you can have cheap, you can have good, we just can't give you cheap AND good"

Amen to safety checking!!!😉👍🇺🇸 I helped a friend who was a retired Probation Officer who was turning in his Leased Lexus. He was in bad physical health. So he asked me if I would remove the "Uzsi from the trunk of his car"!! I picked it up; I removed the magazine from the Firearm and I cleared the chamber and a live round came flying out of the breach!!! He was shocked himself!!! ALWAYS, ALWAYS CLEAR a Firearm before doing anything with it!!!!

As an armorer I encourage you not to change a thing in your Glock. Glock parts are designed to operate together. Buying aftermarket items puts reliability into question. If you're having accuracy issues it's not from the guide rod, it's from your stance, or grip.

@@chrisd5758 what I've read about these is that the tungsten actually wears the spring quicker. It may help with recoil but the part will not last as long. Not a problem as long as you are aware and plan accordingly. The advantage of a non captured spring system is that you can just change the spring when it wears out.

Well, when people want to sell something......they'll say "You gotta get it." IMO, a company like Glock spends millions of $$$$$ on design & testing to make one of the most reliable guns in the world & people actually think they can improve on it with a few parts. The only part I change on some of my guns is the sights. That won't affect functioning.
