Perfect fit and finish

by John Iaria, Verified Owner from NY, United States Written on December 18, 2025
Looks amazing. Definitely felt reduced recoil. Works great if you go with an aftermarket slide with reduced weight due to many window cutouts. This will correct stovepipe issues on aftermarket slides. It’s also a great value. Overall perfect inexpensive upgrade for Glock 17 or similar model.

Creates malfuntions

by glockyyy, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on April 28, 2025
The guide rod has an extra lip behind the front one that creates hangings on the slide preventing it from sometimes going fully into battery. It could be only on light weight springs, however I had many malfunctions that went away when I put the OEM recoil spring back in the gun. It makes the gun softer when shooting but unreliable.
Pros:
  • Softer shooting with faster follow up shots
Cons:
  • Malfunction
Would recommend: No

Great product

by Jason Ervin, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on September 27, 2023
Fits and looks great on the Glock 17. The color matches all other Centennial Defense parts exactly. If using it with a compensator you will have to use 124 grains or higher because the 114 grains will not work properly. I kept getting misfeeds until I changed the ammo.
Pros:
  • Looks great
Cons:
  • Don't use with compensator
Best Used for:
  • without compensator
Would recommend: Yes
