I just got my new glock 23 and am relatively new to handguns and was wondering if it was worth it to get a steel guide rod....if so why? thanks for the info..this site has been really helpful to me in the past...thanks again zak
 
I don't think this will be of much help, but I have a G23 also. I replaced my factory plastic guide rod and captured spring with a glockworks SS rod and non-captured spring. I just didn't like the plastic. I don't find any difference. Wish I could provide some reason to change or not.

Regards,

Robert
 
The biggest reason to put a steel guide rod in a Glock is to allow the use of non-stock recoil springs. Since the .40 Glocks use the same recoil springs as the 9mmP Glocks, even though they handle higher levels of recoil, many Glocksters choose to put extra-power Wolff recoil springs in their .40s.

I've done this myself. I think it's helpful, since it seems to soften perceived recoil some, but not essential. Your Glock should shoot just fine with the original spring and guide rod.
