Best explanation of guide rods and springs and recoil that I have ever heard. Thanks so much!

Lenny is like Boss Ross of guns. So informative and relaxing in way

Lenny, you make understanding and working on my Glock easy, thank you , Sir

I saw you at the last Shot Show and was wanting to shake your hand and thank you for all of the knowledge that you have provided for free. You are helping me to properly build my dream competition Glock. Love you man.

I could listen to Lenny talk for hours, it's my asmr

I’m a really happy customer. Changed out my guid rod and got the double diamond barrel. I couldn’t be happier. I’m ok with the stock trigger.

Used my tungsten guide rod for a couple years now and absolutely love it.

Always great and informative videos...Thanks Lenny

Ok so i finally went to the range to test my new TUNGTEN guide rod , not disappointed 😢 i was shooting with one hand , excellent groups ! Metal vs Plastic = 100 % Metal wins. Thank you for this video. Made me a believer. Can't wait until I purchase another Glock. I have a G 23 Gen 3 it's worth every penny.. Thanks Lenny .

Lenny has not missed arms day in a long time

You should always make sure the compensator your going to ru will run with the one sping and 115 grain ball ammo. That way if you switch things up you know it can handle it. Going to a lighter spring may cause issues if you can’t run a normal Glock polymer guide rod. Speaking from experience here.

Lenny, I love the videos and content you put out 👍

I installed a tungsten guide rod and double diamond standard replacement barrel on my Gen 5 Glock 19 and I am very pleased. My shot pattern is tighter and recoil is definitely reduced.

Just got mine, can't wait to try it.

Great job, Lenny! Thorough information & helped identify exactly what I need for my comped 17. Thanks!

We need green and anodized:) I bought Glock from you Lenny and I will be buying more stuff to customize it. Satisfied customer likely for life.

I have 22lb springs on my g17 gen3 , g21sf gen3, with compensator and cycle great no issues. Once u break in the spring with 50-100 rounds or so should be fine, but make sure to clean and lube prior to installation. Waiting for my g33 gen3 rod/spring to come in. Ive only shot maybe 200 rounds thru that and plastic rod bent already

Just put my new guide rod in and noticed that the guide rod sat high after cycling. Thank you for showing that this is normal.

Ordered my first tungsten guide rod a few months ago. Just ordered another. Love the way the 17 & 19 run with them.

Thank you for explaining that the Rod coming up out of the half moon slot, is okay and normal, I thought my polymer 80 + upper combo was a bad combo at first

I’m ordering this for sure. I’m a brand brand new shooter. Went to the range today and I limp wristed today quite a bit. Will definitely need the help I can get

Training time in the range is the key factor.

Yes, Lenny. Here in Alaska 10mm is the Alaskan round. At least in our opinion. I carry 9mm for self defense in the summer months for in town/city and 45/10mm for winter months. 45 for in town/city during the winter and 10mm year round for any outdoor stuff. Cutting/hauling trees, camping, fishing, hunting, 4 wheeling/snow mobile. I use the tung in all of my carry Glocks because it does help the felt recoil, muzzle lift/flip znd stay on target. It makes shooting hot loads of 10mm very nice. G19 gen4, G17 gen3/4, G20 gen4, G21 gen3/4, G30S gen3.

Thanks for your videos. Love them.

What's up gun world Mike Rowe.

Great video Larry. Answered a few questions I had. Now I know… Just got my new guide rod delivered, and installed. Did the P-80 lower, 3-3.5lbs trigger, and your tungsten guide rod… Can’t wait to shoot it. Bet it’ll be much tamer on the range.

this is why Im getting the 43X I like adding things & stuff to things & stuff ..... Im getting a glock 17L also

I bought the tungsten guide rod for my Glock 19 Gen 4 2 years ago I've shot a lot of rounds out of it since and I'm totally happy with it.

You da man lenny! I'm cruising through Nashville. I'd buy a guide rod right now if you were open!

So the Glock 19 Gen 5 with compensator goes with the 13 pound captive recoil spring plus adapter.

I have been waiting for my Tungsten guide rod from the Glock Store for 2 months and counting.. Damn!

Very informative... learned a lot. Thank you sir. Compliments on your logo for glock store. Nice 😎✨👌

Can you talk about different type of replacement barrels for the glock

Great video Lenny 👍👍👍👍👍

I went up to a 20lb on my 10mm and it was remarkable with 200 grain bear loads and 180 grain self defense ammo. It made more of a difference than I could have imagined it would do. I highly recommend it for 10mm users.

The placebo effect is probably 99.9% of the game here.

I thought the tungsten guide rod was all hype until I put one in my G19 gen4. I'm totally sold on this upgrade. You will feel the difference.

This really provide the info I needed thnx

I got a Glock 17 Gen 5 last fall. The only upgrade has been getting a tungsten guide rod. The G17 is an awesome gun to begin with but the new rod makes it amazing! My shot grouping went from 2.5"-3" at 10 yards down to consistently 1.5"-2", even with bulk RN ammo! Unfortunately, tungsten rods aren't allowed in stock Glock comps so I do have to train with the original rod. But I am noticing there has been consistent improvement in that training too. I don't know if it's the placebo effect but my shooting hand doesn't seem to fatigue as much with the tungsten rod. 9mm doesn't have much recoil but I notice the difference when I change back to the plastic rod. I can do 500+ rounds with the tungsten rod but I start feeling it around 350 rounds or so with the original rod. Great product!

I installed the Pure Tungsten Guide Rod and 22 pound on my G20 for trail pistol in Alaska.

I'm sold, I had some other shooters tell me I didn't need to change it, but after listening to explain it in detail I will take one for my pet

Johnny Glock once mention in a video that he shoots his Gen 4 with an adapter and a single recoil spring with tungsten guide rod because he likes this recoil better than that of the dual spring.

OD Green should be an option.

Recently picked up a Gen 5 Glock 26. Feels like it take a Mack Truck to rack that slide - it's super heavy. So replacing it with a lighter recoil spring makes sense for me. My question is, is there any real reason not to? I understand with 'hot' ammo I'd run a risk, but almost everything I run through my guns is just standard ammo you'd get from any store. Appreciate any feedback.

WHO HERE HAS A GLOCK 23 GEN 3? If so, which rod do you use and / or recommend? Also, what is the best compensator for 40 S&W (for non threaded barrels)? Another question i have is using a 9mm conversion barrel on my 23 gen 3. Can i use a variety of compensators? For example, striker industries mass comp?

Superb video

You said it helps with the balance of the gun. For a weapon with a replaceable Back strap would you add a weighted backsrap to keep it ",more" balanced?

Heft gives the impression of quality. Which is often the case. Glock is however most of all an efficient and inexpensive handgun for duty or home defense purposes. In duty purposes lightness is almost a quality of its own. I doubt I would ever buy a Glock, but I understand those who do.

So if you have a gen 4 19 with slide cuts and a comp, you should buy a gen 3 lighter spring?

When will you have a black ice connector for the 43, 43x, 48?

Would a tungsten guide rod with stiffer springs induce malfunctions with starboard loads instead of hot loads. A lot of people buy these to slow down the slide when shooting really hot loads.

I just bought one on Black Friday. Cant wait for it to arrive.

Is there any tungsten guiderods for glock 27 gen4?

Lenny rocks! 🤘

10 MM is great. Love my Gen 3 G20SF and Gen4 G20. But statistics show in the lower 48 the round reported to have been used in most bear self defense shootings is 9MM. Probably because most people are carrying 9MM.

Just got one of the 17# for my glock 34 . gonna get a 20# for my 29 see how that feels

I'll take a dozen!

Try feeding a 15 or 18 lb. spring onto an Uncaptured Guide Rod without the rounded hood device Lenny has on the end of his gun and it is near impossible. The spring buckles way before it can be compressed and placed. His rounded piece below the barrel prevents that. Using stock 40 Calibre Glock 23 Gen 5 firearm.

Can't wait to get mine...been waiting over two weeks...they are out of stock.

Lenny I have a weak off hand from neuropathy and it’s hard for me to operate my 43X MOS slide. The reduced power tungsten guide rod sounds interesting but I want to make sure I don’t create and FTF or FTE issues. Any advice?

Got mine today 😊

I need one with a laser in it as well for my glock p80 / g17 gen 1

Excellent instructor.

Good info

Just installed a tungsten guide rod for my 22 gen 3. Haven't yet had the chance to try it out. Do I need to (lightly) oil it before I take it to the range?

I have a glock 20 10 mm My preferred ammunition is the liberty civil defense 60 gain, What is your Recommendation for what Spring should I order?

Gen5 Glock 19 with this guide rod already went soft. Fails the recoil spring test with flying colors after 1k rounds. I just put my oem rod back in and will order another oem rod for a backup. Steer clear.

forgive my ignorance, but could a tungsten guide rod and spring setup be made adjustable; similar to a coilover spring setup on an entirely too loud 1994 honda civic ;) ... maybe thread the front of the guide rod and use a nut to adjust tension on the spring? start at 13 lb and adjustable to 19 lbs. ... i think it would be fun to try out.. would have to be careful that the spring doesnt bottom out at any "setting" on the spring ... are there setups where i keep the same rod and replace only the spring?

Got a tungsten guide Rod for my G23 and it works completely fine nothing wrong with it at all. Dropped right in. Feels a little heavier in the front of the gun shot about 300rds threw it right now and no problems just got oil it before you use it

the information is truly interesting. I just bought the 26 Gen5. So the question: is, is it best to swap out the original guide rod spring? I ask this question because (hey Lenny !) I don't want to entertain the thought of a plastic guide spring breaking on my watch...Finally, you don't recommend a swap for my pistol. Why is that?

Glad you moved to gun friendly Nashville Tennessee!

Knowledgeable

I have a Gen 3 Glock 23 what is the proper tungsten weight for my gun

At what gr count do you start considering a 40. Caliber to be a "hot load"? considering a heavier 20 lbs spring for a glock 22 with the steel ported barrel they sell but unsure If should just keep factory since I'll loose some pressure with the slots in the barrel.

I received mine for my 19c gen 3. Went with a 15 pound spring as it is having some cycling issues now. I hope that’s the right spring weight.

What would be advisable spring for a 5th gen G45. Shooting 115-124 grain hot 🔥 ammo ❓

Replacement Tungsten or even steel/stainless guide rods will more often than not make your pistol short cycle, thus resulting in FTE and jamming. This is because these guide rods are heavier and have more tension than the stock ones. Less recoil? Probably, maybe. But, do you want your firearm to function properly? YES!! I've learned the hard way. Stick with OEM guide rods. If you own and/or carry a Glock, they've already taken enough of your money.

Outstanding! 👏🏼 Stainless steel and tungsten vs polymer it is a no brainer. If you are happy with your polymer spring guide rod, stay happy. If not, change the recoil spring guide rod assembly for a stronger, more durable, metal one, which will add weight for the gun to stay flatter on target when firing. It will also give you confidence in reliability, due to the integrity of the material. Some people get stuck in the "old school" mentality and never evolve from it.

All I can say is listen to this young man. I put the Tungsten Guide Rod in both my G34 & G19 and have had absolute awesome success with this simple upgrade. Better piece of mind knowing that metal trumps polymer. (:

NIB, my G22 Gen 3 not is plastic guide rod. It is stainless 25.25 grams with factory spring. I will upgrade to the 40. 2 grams.

What size spring are you running it that glock it sounds so crisp

Hmmmmm....I’m almost sold on this. The 30% off offer is very appealing

Do you have glock 26 guide rod in tungsten. This would go good with my new tungsten grey slide

Will this set up go with the compensator ?

Which spring weight should I get for my Glock 30sf

Why is the G43x Tungsten Guide Rod longer than the OEM guide rod? I had to return mine to only fine many other reviews saying that there are quality control issues with he G43x Tungsten Guide Rods being out of spec or longer than the OEM guide rod.

On the spring. Is there a printed weigh on it.

What weight spring is the best for G19 gen 3, 115 grain ammo?

Why no Pure Tungsten for the Glock 20 & 40 (10mm)?

I live in Alaska :)

What about the proper spring for a Glock 19X?

lenny is the man

What are the draw backs of having a recoil spring lighter that factory?

I would like to have a weaker spring maybe a 13 pound on the tunsten guide rod it's I have a hard time pulling back my gen 3 Glock 17

Hi iam Fernando live in Puerto Rico, i will like to know wish tungstens is tthe right one for the glock 22 gen 4 with the compensator please let me know as soon as posible.

I want to get one for my glock 29 but don't know about the lbs to Choose. What do you Recommend

I have a 26 gen 5 with a factory 16 pound spring( from what I’m told) problem is ,is that I’ve had surgery on my right wrist and racking the slide is next to impossible (I’m left handed) my question is this. How safe would it be to use a lighter spring? I shoot factory loads (115 grain and my carry ammo is 115 or 124 grain) I’m thinking the spring I have on there now feels a lot heavier by far then the spring on my 17 gen 3. And if I could use a lighter spring then how much lighter could I go without damaging my frame ? Thank you all in advance for your help. I called Glock and of course they don’t recommend anything other then oem

Are there any after market guide rods that will fit the Gen 4 Glock 22?

Glock perfection is achieved once you swap out the guide rods and the sights.

Do you offer a choice of colour with the different spring strengths? I would like a lighter spring, but the accent colour of my (9mm-converted) G22 is going to be gold (already ordered most of the parts from you) but the gold rod on the website is a heavier spring, not lighter. Can I specify a golden rod with my choice of spring, is what I am basically asking?
