Went to the range yesterday with a buddy that has a Ruger SR9. Being curious, I shot it. It had quite a bit less recoil than the Glock 19 Gen 2 that I took. The Glock has an unknown amount of rounds through it, while the Ruger had around 200 rds shot.
This got me to thinking about replacing the guide rod spring on my Glock. My question is, "do the stainless rods make much difference compared to the polymer stock rods?" I intend to stay with the stock spring rate of 18lbs. I'd never given the recoil much thought until this comparison test. My accuracy is good with the Glock as it is, just thinking that less recoil would help. Any thoughts on the subject?
