I have a question if there are any Glock enthusiast here. It is a Gen 4 I believe with a two piece guide rod. I notice the spring was exposed with the slide in the retracted position. No one at GT Distributors had shot one but they said it reduced recoil some. I am of the theory the fewer parts the better. He wanted it for the grip design which was a little narrower front to back. Does it reduce recoil, is it a better design? I noticed it was a little more difficult to reassemble then the earlier generation G22.
