I only have 2 Glocks. A G19 and a G21.
Both shoot great. Neither ever has any malfunctions.
When field stripping the G21 for cleaning, upon removing the slide, the guide rod & spring assembly literally falls out. Like it doesn't have enough tension? There's barely any tension when placing the guide rod back into the semi circle cutout on the barrel. Never a problem chambering a round by racking or slide release.
The G19, I have to compress the spring with my finger, then pull up on the guide rod to remove. It seems much tighter in position than the 21.
Both still have the factory plastic/nylon/whatever material guide rods.
I found stainless steel guide rod and spring assembly, in both 18# and 21# versions, with a quick Google.
Will this "fix" the issue, or is it not an issue and should be left alone?
BTW, barrels, slides, frames, everything, is factory Glock number matching parts
