ZEV Standard Frame Guide Rod, Stainless Steel

The ZEV Standard Frame Guide Rod (brand part number G.ROD-STD-SS) is a stainless steel recoil spring guide rod built for compact-frame Glock pistols. ZEV Technologies designed the rod to pair with an ISMI recoil spring in the correct weight for the pistol, which in most cases lands around 13 pounds. Because ZEV guide rods are not compatible with the factory Glock guide rod spring, an ISMI spring is required for proper function. Shooters running a Generation 4 slide will also need a Gen4 reducing ring, sold separately, since the rod is not sized for the Gen4 spring diameter without it. The kit includes the ZEV guide rod body and a spring retaining screw.
