New guide rod G22

[Blacklabelglock]

I want to replace my guide rod in my Glock 22 but do I want a captured or non captured rod.I will use the factoy weight spring but i am unsure as the best one to get .I would guess that the stainless steel rod would make it function alot slicker ? What do you use ?

I use the stock rod, I have read people that have had problems with the after market rods, but I am not sure what ones they were.

Just use the stock setup. You're just as likely to have problems with an aftermarket setup as the stock, which is not likely.

I bought one about eight years ago from arotek and have never had any problems with it.

I bought a satinless one from Ben at Glockmeister about 20k rounds ago with zero problems.

I like and use Wolff rods and springs. I change spring weights fairly often depending on the loads I'm shooting so without question it's non-captured for me. If you think you might ever want to vary your weight, go non-captured, if you're sure you never want to change, captured is o.k.

Thanks .I will probably never change spring weights so i guess i will go with the captured .The wolff set up is the one i am currenlty intersted in .I have thier springs on all of my 1911 s and i was wondering if the steel rod and spring will make the Glock that much better.I am also picking up a G36 this weekend so i guess i will buy one for that to .

Wolff's are an excellent choice but please be aware that they are all non captive setups. If you want captive, you'll need to look elsewhere.

I have tried both ways and the stock captured is smoother than Wolff rod/spring. ISMI sells flat springs similar to the stockers. I haven't tried ISMI--the stockers work fine and get smoother with use and lubrication.

I guess i will not mess with somethong that isnt broken .I will just leave it as is thanks .

Good choice. The stock rod works perfectly, keeps weight down, and cost a whopping $7.50 to replace, when needed.
