LWD Tungsten Guide Rod (with stainless back cap), item number LWD-GR2021-Tg fits all Gen 3 G20,21,21SF models. You are purchasing the guide rod only. The recoil spring must be purchased separately. The LWD Tungsten guide rod can be used with the original factory recoil spring or ISMI "flat wound" recoil spring. To make the guide rod compatible with a Gen 4 model, a stainless guide rod adapter is required. If you intend to use a Wolff "round wound" recoil spring, the included special washer must be installed behind the screw tip. The factory recoil spring weight is 17 lbs on all G20,21,21SF models.
Lone Wolf Tungsten guide rods provide a decisive advantage for all Glock owners by providing an additional 67% weight increase at the front of the pistol versus a stainless guide rod. This extra weight will help reduce muzzle rise allowing quicker follow up shots. Special features include a rigid Tungsten body that improves lock up by completely removing "guide rod flex". The hex screw removable tip allows the user to choose various spring weights that will calibrate the ammunition to the gun. Used by Law Enforcement and competitive shooters worldwide, will not chip or crack like the factory plastic guide rods are prone to. Will not damage or wear your polymer frame and guaranteed to provide a lifetime of reliable service.
