P10C Plastic Guide Rod

[cremaley]

I just purchased a black stainless steel one from Grayguns with the stock weight spring and really like it. Cost was $34 plus shipping. Also ordered the Cajun Gun Works tool steel striker for $48 plus shipping and previously ordered and installed the flat trigger from HBI at a cost of $55 plus shipping. Total investment less than $150.

I?ve been running the black version of the gray guns guide rod with no issues.

Thanks for your input. Which spring are you using?

I have the CGW SS Guide Rod and #15 spring.  I almost have over 1000 flawless rounds through it.  Seems to work great with my minimum power factor handloads, factory ammo and any defense loads I?ve ran through it.

Same set up.  When shooting at speed the stock recoil spring was causing subsequent hits to dip low.  Brass was also dribbling out of the gun and landing at my feet with the loads I predominantly shoot (125 gr coated bullets @ 1040-ish fps for 130 PF).  Ordered the CGW guide rod along with the 18 and 15lb springs.  Shot a series of Bill Drills and the best results I got were with the 15lb spring.

I have some Glock springs that I use on a Jager guide rod but the springs for the G19 are too short (won?t keep the slide in battery) and the G17 springs are long enough the spring stacks when the slide is retracted and won?t let it go far enough back to lock back on an empty mag.  Be nice if somebody made a 13 or even 11 lb spring for the P10C for powder puff loads.  FYI, back when I was shooting a SP-01 Shadow a lot I was using a 10lb recoil spring.  Ditto on my 9mm 1911 and 2011?s.  I like like recoil springs for flatter recoil. Lets me get back on target faster.

I agree.  It feels like even with the #15 CGW spring and guide Rod it is spring way to heavy still.

I had a steel rod and 18lb spring for P07 sitting in my spare parts box. Gonna try it out tomorrow with some of my practice loads.

Just some info.
My 2017 P07 stock guide rod spring takes 14lb of force to rack the slide according to my handy fish scale. I pulled it by the rear sights while holding the gun in a vise.
