I'm used to 1911's and wanted to get some weight up front so I added a stainless guide rod to G30. No problems and at least I think muzzle flip is lessened. Glock OEM is almost always more reliable but since I no longer use the G30 for defensive purposes I don't mind potentially losing some reliability for shooting comfort. If you life depends on a Glock, keep it stock imo.
Physics says that tungsten guide rods work even if you don't like them. The hottest competition guns on the market right now are running tungsten barrel sleeves.
Reciprocating mass = not good
Non reciprocating mass = good
To me, DPM recoil reduction system is the answer. I’m using it in my G43 and G19. It really reduces felt recoil when shooting +P rounds through G19 without undermining the gun’s reliability at all.
This is the problem with Glocks unlike most things in life they just work out of the box but we have a whole industry built around accessories, and Glocks are terrible about scratching the itch to buy things. So I just buy better ammo and more of it and lots of factory magazines in all possible sizes for my 26.
Imagine how many S&W M&P owners would love to have a trigger that just works but you end up with a $2-300 gun (sales rebates and coupons) that needs a $100 apex trigger job...
