| I have a Gen 3 23C. I've been upgrading some of the parts, and it is time to get rid of that original plastic guide rod. I have no idea what to get. What brand, what poundage etc. I know adding a metal rod will increase weight and that is something I am not worried about. |

Unless you are running custom loads that require a lighter spring to operate the best option is to replace your RSA with OEM. Plus they are dirt cheap.
Deviating from stock weight can make the pistol no longer 100% reliable. In my G34 I run -2# but that pistol I use in competition all other I run stock. |
| Thanks for the advice yall. I was really just basing this off the fact I've had the firearm for 8 years.Figured an upgrade, replacement wouldn't hurt. I'm not really sure of the spring weight (I was told when I bought it, it was heavier to work with the compensator to help reduce felt recoil) 14 or 15 pounds I thought. I will definitely look into just a OEM replacement. |
