Looking forward to the range report.
Thinking of replacing my guide rod with a steel one as well.

One great big festering neon distraction

I've been thinking of putting in the Apex spring kit to reduce the trigger pull. What would the steel guide rod do for me?

Adds weight in front end. Hoping maybe takes recoil down a bit. Wont know til saturday. It replaced a plastic one

actory new production Glock recoil springs are 16 pounds. Recoil springs fit over a pistol's guide rod and control how the pistol's slide functions. In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. There is no hard and fast rule as to how much "Spring" a pistol needs. Too light a spring and the pistol opens and closes early and hard, increasing the felt reoil and battering the frame. Too heavy a spring and the slide is hard to open and may not cycle completely, jamming the pistol. Shooters who are using +P ammunition or self defense ammunition will likely need heavier recoil springs. Shooters who are using target ammunition may be able to use lighter recoil springs. Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the slide from the pistol

In order of how i shot. First off there is a notable difference in recoil which threw me off on target reaquisition when rapidly firing. Also the "snappyness" was a bit less. I think i was over compensating. Causing me to shoot a little low and to the left. Recently popped a apex spring kit in a couple weeks back. Once i master this learning curve for the recoil i have no doubt this will be a worthwhile add on to the SD. I was shooting 180 gr reloads with the 22 lb guiderod

I assume you meant less recoil? Is that correct?

 

[hmbiohazard]

Correct

The slide snaps back and chambers next round quicker in turn making less felt recoil

Nice shooting!

-Nice shooting! I may look into a replacement recoil rod sometime too. Maybe a 20# spring for a happy medium. Sometimes you just gotta tinker with things. I also might do a little polishing to the trigger bar. I don't have any grittiness when pressing the trigger, but I can feel some when slowly releasing the trigger to the reset point. Looks like the outside of the hook where the sear disconnects is the culprit.

I think I may try one! I'm nervous which one to get 20 or 22. I just noticed that my guide rod end isn't flat anymore. Its starting to bend or warp where it meets the barrel. Noticed this after shooting about 150 rds this past weekend (reloads)

if you have a .40 get the 22lb. if you have a 9mm dont go over 20, for 9mm id go 18-19lb

i put 22 in my 40 and its much better now. the factory is 17lb i think. if you are like me and tend to use 180gr at range. 22 is what you need
