Glock Recoil - 17 gen 4 MOS vs. 34 gen 5 MOS - tungsten guide rod vs. Steel
This YouTube video compares the recoil characteristics of two Glock MOS models: the Glock 17 Gen 4 and the Glock 34 Gen 5. The comparison specifically investigates the impact of different guide rods on recoil. The Glock 17 is equipped with a Jentra Ultra Heavy Tungsten Guide Rod, while the Glock 34 features a Taran Tactical Innovations oversized steel guide rod. Both pistols utilize 14lb recoil springs and are fitted with Leupold DeltaPoint Pro red dot sights and Dawson Precision backup iron sights. The reviewer notes that the Glock 17 felt slightly easier to handle in hand, though the downrange recoil results were not dramatically different.
