    I think your asking if you replace the factory barrel with a stainless one, and the guide rod with a steel one will it hurt your Glock. The answer is no it want. It may or may not look odd, but I would like to know why you want the change. My elders always told me if it aint broke dont fix it.



    Good Luck.

    I was wondering same thing, but would like to add...

    I just got a stainless guide tube, and the spring seems much weaker than the factory's. It's an accu-match stainless rod with non-captured spring.

    I haven't tried it at the range yet, but when I rack the slide I can feel a stronger impact on the frame.

    Could this cause a problem?

    My gun is prettier than yours, and it's a Glock!

    If this follows the same logic as on a 1911(gut instinct seems to be yes) a lighter spring would be for lighter target loads. Not sure if I like that restriction on a compact carry gun.

    Using full-horse loads in a gun with a match spring (lighter) would put more stress on the frame of the gun. I know Glocks are durable but you may want to swap out for a heavier spring if you plan to shoot more than just light match loads.

    If you buy another barrel, get one that is slightly oversized from the factory so you can properly fit it in yourself. I don't trust anything that is just plain drop in.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.
