Works Great
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. I cannot tell if the Lone Wolf is better or the same as this one, I could not see or feel any difference.

Allows peace of mind
I'm a retired police firearms instructor, and have been a firearms instructor trainer as well as police recruit firearms trainer. I have seen thousands of rounds fired through hundreds of Glocks and have never witnessed a factory guide rod break or malfunction. Still, knowing Murphy is alive and well, I have installed this product in my personal carry G19. Installation was simple and the product fit perfectly. Fit and finish of the item is very high quality. Buy yourself some peace of mind and get one for your carry gun.

really nice captured guide rod
This guide rod, unlike many others has a bushing that rests against the inside of the slide instead of the spring touching the slide directly. Is also uses factory style flat springs! I did take it apart and polish the rod for a few minutes to get rid of the light machine marks. It is a little smoother and quieter when that is done! I highly reccomend this guide rod. and it is a reasonable price too!
