A stainless guide rod and a heavier spring and seem like a cheap, easy way to reduce recoil... But what about the weight, is the additional weight worth that reduction in recoil?
Does the recoil reduction have a noticeable impact?david1962hd said:Unless you put it on a scale,I don't think you will ever notice any additional weight.
I'm more concerned about weight when carryingTape said:I do not even think about it while shooting, I have them on all my Glocks except the G4 17.
I think it does. To be honest, I really couldn't tell a Huge difference. My opinion or personal preference is that I would rather have stainless steel in there rather than Plastic. Stainless is less likely to fail. I've not had a failure with the plastic one, its just my preference.singyourdeathsong said:Does the recoil reduction have a noticeable impact?
I changed the original recoil spring with the plastic rod with a new one I bought with a SS rod from the GlockStore. My Glock 19C also has a Ghost 3.5 trigger kit (connector and springs). I had not cleaned the gun from my previous trip to the range. When I tested it the rounds would not feed w/o hitting the slide release every time. I cleaned the gun thoroughly and put the old recoil spring with plastic rod back on. I'm eager to get back out to the range to see if this fixed the problem. Anyone has an explanation of what may have happened?singyourdeathsong said:Does the recoil reduction have a noticeable impact?
Gen4 solves that issue......I think it does. To be honest, I really couldn't tell a Huge difference.

Finally made it to the range to test the G19C after the issues experienced with the new SS recoil spring/rod. Glad to say all is back to normal with the factory plastic recoil rod. Over 250 rounds w/o a hitch. I haven't put a lot of thought to it yet as to the technical reasons why the Ghost 3.5 Rocket Trigger kit and the SS Competition Recoil Spring for Glocks (Glockstore.com Item# T0653-15 - 15lb Spring 'green') didn't like each other at all in this gun, but it is what it is. I'll just keep a couple of the factory rod/spring handy as spares. Right now I'm extremely happy with the current configuration, paritcularly the light trigger and quick reset. The Titanium pins still slide a bit after a shooting session compared to the originals. (may decide to put the originals back on). No doubt this is a great gun.bjdiaz1 said:I changed the original recoil spring with the plastic rod with a new one I bought with a SS rod from the GlockStore.
