Get Rid Of Your Glock's PLASTIC Guide Rod!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
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.

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)

After changing the rod can you use any ammo? I have the stock guide rod in mine, and noticed I can’t use any ammo with any kind of ridges on the point(has to be smooth) or it won’t feed

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

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.

Thank you for your content 😊
Always an Outstanding video and presentation.
Getting a tungsten guide rod sounds good for my 43x.😊🇺🇸
I bought my G17 new in 1988. I have carried it everyday and changed nothing . I have to qualify every year and since I work offshore , as a Merchant Marine, I get to run all kinds of ammo through it on a regular basis. So, thousands of rounds over the years. I clean it periodically and as I said, besides buying some new Glock mags over the years, I have changed nothing. For me it is a tool. Don't mess with it.

Exactly CE !! thousands of rounds of practice a year will improve user recoil management, not a slightly heavier rod.

nothing wrong with improving your tools, so long as they're still reliable. BUT i do think that being proficient with the gun in its stock form first is better than relying on aftermarket parts to improve your shooting. its why i decided against getting a spring kit for my p320 trigger. i wasnt very accurate with it and was considering lightening up the trigger, but decided that i really just dont have enough trigger time with it. plus, with the reputation they are getting from having accidental discharges, i didnt want to mess with the trigger at all lol

I love it here in Tennessee glad you do too 👍
Glad you got out of California brother and into Nashville. I’m in Rome Georgia about 3 hours from you. I will be purchasing guide rods for all my Glocks, one at a time of course 😄. And also will be visiting The Glock Store in the near future.
As a new Glock 43x owner this was spot on

Great video! Thank you, sir.
Thank you for the advice. My dad is a Marine and was a sniper and as he is getting older its getting harder for him to control his glock so i will be buying us both one.
I just bought the extended machined slide release. Oh, my god, it is so easy now to remove the slide. Worth every penny. Now both Glocks have it.
I hear it can cause problems for reliability? They say do not change anything from stock because it is only designed for the original parts
Great video. I live in the Nashville area and will definitely check out your shop. If he hasn't already I'm sure Hickok 45 will be by there sometime as well. Keep up the great work.
TY for the info good job on your video sir I love Glocks they never fail if maintained .
Good job. Thanks
Only Lenny can make me watch a 12 min video about a guide rod. Salesman of the century!
Weapon lights also work and provide a functional improvement. A SureFire x300 is 113 grams with batteries (some of that weight being even further forward). The downside to this is you’ll likely need a new holster and it costs more.

Definitely. Big light mitigates a lot of recoil
I have several Glocks and a Tungsten Guide rod in each! Thanks Lenny!
Greetings from Switzerland. I really love your videos, self-controlled, easily understandable and very informative. Thanks for your work

Lenny, I am a retired teacher. You are a fantastic teacher as good as I have seen and of course excellent business man! Your voice, tone, cadence along with the use of your hands and body language showing every step involved in what ever you are teaching is inspiring. You picked the gun industry, thank you, but you could have picked any profession where you would be seen, heard and followed and you would have created greatness. Thank you for what you do to help so many people with your joy and positiveness backed by tremendous knowledge! I am a Lenny fan boy👍

Note, the gun smiths on staff can do free install on GS parts, accessories in house. 🛒 To my knowledge, the Nashville store does not 🚫 apply cerakote, black oxide, NP3, TiN. That coating, surface work may still be in CA.

Had to check my xd 40 subcompact and my m&p40 2.0...both have metal guide rods. But my subcompact is snappy, I'm thinking of getting some compensators and ported slides for each of my handguns. Great video bud. ✌🏾 from Alaska.
Got this for my Glock 43x and it makes it a lot less snappy, ran at least a good 3000-5000 rounds through it and I haven’t had a single issue, highly recommend if you wanna ease off the snap on the slim frame Glocks
I put a Gen4 recoil spring in my Gen3 G27 years ago. So nice.
