While I’ll be the first to say, “keep your GLOCK, STOCK” I recently picked up a SS Guide Rod from HotRod9mm for my G32. I used a standard OEM spring but it does come with a bushing for a Wolff spring. I’ve used my G32 several times since installing it running 357SIG and 9mm through it without any issues. I’m happy with it 
I’ve had that exact setup on my G-19 for several thousand rounds and it seems to work really well. I still keep a couple of the cheapie plastic replacements around just in case.
That is 100% true. A lighter spring does allow the slide to impact the frame harder but since the mass (the slide) cycles faster, felt recoil will be less. You really can’t stop recoil you can only manage it. A lighter spring and proper grip and stance will manage recoil best. The quicker you can get it done and over with the less you’ll feel. This is why you’ll see lightened slides and bolt carriers on competition (IPSC/USPSA) guns.
Here’s a good video of Todd Jarrett at Blackwater explaining grip etc. Todd Jarrett is one of the best pistol shooters in the U.S. I shoot USPSA with him at Fredericksburg and Blackwater several times a year, he’s a hell of a nice guy and not a prima donna.
That is a pretty good video and very helpful. It pretty much tells me that my shooting style sucks and I need to work on it.
Sorry to drag up a old thread but why is it that you dont have any Glock barrels? What barrels do you prefer and why? As a new Glock owner I’m curious.
I’m with you on the recoil. Quick question what spring do you use. I liked the 13# ISMI that I had two years ago, but it’s worn out now and I’m playing with a 15#.
Just never got into stocking them.

I think there is some confusion. I took your comments to mean you didn’t use Glock barrels on your Glocks and replaced them with an aftermarket version.
Yeah, thats what I though as well and thats what I was referring too.
