Glock tungston guide rod?

[redleg16]

Lenny has a great website, but has anybody tried this Tungston guide rod stuff?

Each to their own.
I've owned several Glocks through the years.

I would stick with the stock one unless there's a compelling reason, like wanting to change the recoil spring weight for example.

In one case, I had a Glock Model 20 10mm that I experimented with a 6" barrel and hardcast rounds for when I was up at my NW Wisconsin cabin. (black bears)
When I shot Underwood 200 grain hard cast rounds, it threw the brass into the next county!

So I got a steel guide rod that I could change the spring weight to keep the ejected brass nearby and also not beat up the pistol so much.

BUT that said, I'd normally just stick with the stock guide rod and spring.

I don't like to be so judgemental but when I see Lenny flogging something I instinctively assume it's about making money (for Lenny). I've never seen a broken guide rod, Gen 3 RSA. I'm sure someone has broken one but it's rare to say the least. If you don't mind spending $70 plus for a little more weight on the front of the gun I don't see a down side to it but don't expect it recoil like a 22 after adding Lenny's tungsten magic.

If you want some muzzle end weight, $ure. I'd rather hang a flashlight on the nose though.
