Glock 34 and Bedair Guide Rod

[CEHollier]

I recently bought a Glock 34. I had a Ghost trigger connector installed. I am considering having a Bedair captive stainless guide rod made for it. I have been told by Glock pureists it would be best to keep it stock. Anyone out there have any knowledge pro or con as to Glocks and changing the factory guide rod to a stainless one.

Thanks,

Charles

The only reason I'd ever change the guide rod is to easily be able to change out recoil springs.

I change the guide rod and recoil spring on all my Glocks. I install stainless steel or heavy bronze and different weight ISMI springs depending on the intended use of the gun. You can stay stock or improve your gun, depends on what you want.

Thought everything Glock was perfection?

Your gonna think I'm nuts but my CZ 75B came with a plastic guide rod. All I did was change to a Bedair SS guide rod and my groups improved significantly. My XD 45 shoots tighter groups than the 34 and it has a metel captured guide rod. I honestly feel it will improve accuracy. Maybe it's psychological but if it helps great as long as it doesn't cause problems with my Glocks reliability. My only concern is reducing reliability.

I'm not a Kool aid drinker. There is room for improvement on everything.

I keep my carry guns original. My G34 & 35 I installed stainless steel un-captive guide rods with 11 and 13lb springs. They work fine and I've put thousands of rounds through them.

Hmm..... do not make me go there with the 1911 coments.

What springs do you use? Wolf

Wasn't talking about a 1911.
XD's are where it's at
Perfect IS impossible!!

It can improve shootability, especially combined with a lighter recoil spring but certainly not accuracy, imo.

Like I said. Your gonna think I'm nuts. That was the only change and the groups tightened up significantly. I have no idea why...

Steel or Tungsten guide rod puts more weight out in front which helps to stabilize the gun and helps to dampen the felt recoil.

the xtra weight will add some balance and help you keep the nose down on your second, third, etc. shots.
