B.S.'s Review of Centennial Defense Systems Stainless Steel Guide Rod Assembly for Glock 43,43X,48
So im a firm believer in glock guide rods after gen 3 have been garbage. I have a tungsten in my g19 absolutely love it and have well over 10k rnds through that. I didnt want tungsten for the g43 due to trying to keep it as light as possiible sinces its my edc.
This is worth the buy 100% feels like its made well and i wanted to wait to have at least 500 rnds through it before doing the review. Not a single malfunction and anybody that says you don't feel the recoil or the difference in it is lying to you or they don't shoot guns often and no matter what they they wouldn't know the difference because they're too scared of any gun and The recoil.
I got a 17 lb version so that's the same as stock and I can feel a big difference I wish I could test out the 19 lb may end up getting one of those just to see the difference. Wish I could buy just the springs.
Also dont take a brand new g48 and shoot a few rnds and blame the guide rod � also why would put a guide rod in a brand new glock? Shoot stock before you uograde so you know what you need to upgrade. Ita usually never the gun its the shooter thats the problem.
Pros:
It reduces felt recoil
heavier than OEM to also help with recoil
actually sits in place
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
Better shooting
Would Recommend:
Yes
