LONE WOLF DIST. - Guide Rod Assembly, 20/21

Will continue to update my firearms with this company thanks for your great service

Installation was not too difficult. Took my Glock where it performed perfectly.

I've used the OEM guide rods that have the polymer guide rod inside and honestly they work really good for what it is I have upgraded to the stainless steel rods I don't know that I really noticed the performance difference in either one to be honest I just know that the obviously the stainless one will last a long long time where the polymer needs to be replaced cause this technically a throwaway part when it goes.

This is a great upgrade or replacement for the OEM plastic gen 3 guide rod and spring. I installed this on a polymer 80 9/40v2 frame, with zafiri precision barrel and slide (Glock 17 models), after the OEM guide rod broke and shot the spring across the garage. As long as your guide rod channel is shaped appropriately, this will fit. It will work, but ultimately final quality control is on YOU. If you're replacing this on a Glock made frame, barrel and slide you should have no problems with fit as long as your model is compatible with the guide rod. Some good things about this: it smooths out slide function a bit as the plastic rods in my experience grind or bind. It does have an Allen head screw to replace the recoil spring with after market options (comes with a 17 pound spring pre-installed but 15 to 20 pound springs are available to tune your rig). My finance is able to operate the slide much more easily with this guide rod and spring than other pistols. Some bad things: the bad isn't really bad as nit picky. It is loud and will be until the spring breaks in. You can make it a little more quiet with grease, but it will eventually break in and not be to noticeable. The guide rod and screw are stainless steel, and if you're trying to color match to the barrel and slide you may have to cold blue and something to make it match how you want. Installation is stiff, but it's a brand new spring. Overall first time quality on this product is great. It does what it's designed to do. Make the gun function. It's worth the 25 dollars to make the upgrade. Especially if your OEM guide rod is old and losing function.

Put this in my gen3 g23c. The original recoil spring was not giving me any problems , but after thousands of rounds, I figured I would change it out due to my 23c being my edc.
