Does this guide rod affect recoil? Is it better or worse than the stock guide rod?

I haven't experienced any noticeable difference. The 40 cal is snappy in the shorter frame Glock. You just get the grip as high to the slide and squeeze.

Yes. That's the exact set up I have. I mounted this and it have a huge difference. Without the pad, the recoil was pretty harsh since the rifle is so light.

It should. The second scope has worked fine. My first one cracked the rear reticle in three shots. A .35 Remington has a pretty good "pop" for recoil ,but, no more than a 308. I've shot both & they are about the same in the recoil department .Worst case scenario , you buy the scope & shoot it like I did mine to zero it & it fails . You contact Reds gear & they'll replace it. That's what I did. My new one has done just fine.

Yes. That's what i mounted it on. It GREATLY reduced the recoil. You won't be disappointed.

I'm not sure exactly because the recoil spring/rod is different for Gen 4s vs Gen 3s (G2 and G1)... after trying this buffer a few times, the effect on recoil absorption is minimal in my opinion.

I did not notice a change once I had the sights swapped. I shot the next week at a tactical course, one part was low-light and it helped with quick acquisition of the target. I was not happy with the stock sights to begin with though.

It will work, but don't expect it to be any better than the factory rod. I did not have any felt reduction in recoil, and I had two other 92FS models (unmodified) to test it by. All used 115GR FMJ ammo. It just wasn't worth the money. It's still in the original packaging in my spare gun parts box, I was that unimpressed.

I don't know about mount for it but I have mine in a Ruger .308 scout rifle and it handles that recoil and stats zeroed. Hope that helps.

I'm not an expert shooter but I did not notice any big difference in performance. As far as the fit it worked well with the one piece guide rod on my Taurus but not the Springfield 1911two piece it had to be modified

It helps a little bit with the flash but its more designed to reduce recoil and muzzle jump. There are definitely better devices on the market.One thing to note is there is an annoying ringing noise after each shot. I read online that you can dremel parts of the break to get rid of this problem but you get what you pay for and in the end the device does look pretty cool.

I used this scope on a flat-top receiver without a FSB. I used a mount with a 1" rise. I do have another rifle with a FSB and similar scope. Did not use a riser on it. FSB only shows up as a very small blur. Does not affect ability to hit targets.

I use one on my AK47 and my Remington tatical 12 gauge which has a lot more recoil than an AR15 with no problems

I'm no expert. But I beleive it depends on the 1911. This one fits my 1911 with a full guide rod, but just barely. It doesn't completley lock into place. But I've seen them lock fully with other 1911's. It does, however, allow for smooth recoil. No grinding. Your best bet is to do what I'm going to do and get a GI guide rod. It'll make it easier to disassemble.

I have the 4595ts and it works great. In fact of all the firearms I've tried this with, the carbine seems to be the best. It was very close from the factory with iron sights, I used this bore sight prior to going to the range. It was on paper at 50, then I dialed it at 100yrds. No issues. One of the best purchases I've made.

Yes it does help in reducing recoil. It also helps in sighting in your rifle. Reduction of recoil is part of this. It gives you a solid base that will allow you to zero in your rifle with a scope or even iron sights. I highly recommend this.

I would say overall it made at least a 50% difference in felt recoil and a very substancial difference in total weight which directly contributed to a tighter bullet grouping a 100yds.A GREAT product for my application and would recommend this product to anyone in need of a good replacement rifle stock.Thanks

I have a 1911 .45 5" Springfield Armory gun with a short guide rod. Less than half the length of the ones I have seen on videos for other 5' .45s. I replaced the original worn buffer I had and it works great. I may not completely understand your issue, but hopefully this will help.
