In handguns, what does a guide rod do?
What purpose does it serve?
Specifically, the pistol I have in mind is the Glock series w/ its guide rod mounted directly below the barrel.
Factory new production Glock recoil springs are 16 pounds. Recoil springs fit over a pistol's guide rod and control how the pistol's slide functions. In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. There is no hard and fast rule as to how much "Spring" a pistol needs. Too light a spring and the pistol opens and closes early and hard, increasing the felt reoil and battering the frame. Too heavy a spring and the slide is hard to open and may not cycle completely, jamming the pistol. Shooters who are using +P ammunition or self defense ammunition will likely need heavier recoil springs. Shooters who are using target ammunition may be able to use lighter recoil springs. Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the slide from the pistol
