This would be for a 4 in. XD Service.

Referring to pound rating.

Thanks.

Is this really a worthwhile add-on (Don's guide rod)?

What caliber? I think you would want a 22lb in the 40. You can also get combo packs from wolff if you like.

 

[kraigster414]

Yes .4O

I use the 22# in mine, works great. I shoot mostly WWB. If you use low power ammo you may want a weaker spring. Conversly, if you use the high powered stuff maybe a 24# would be better. Considering the low price of springs, you might buy a couple and decide which one you like best.

I like the 22#. The 24# makes the slide a bit too hard to rack.

pistol-gear.com has a rod and spring combo what kind are they and are they any good or should I get the don's rod and wolff spring from them that is separate. thanks

The combo is a Don's rod and Wolff spring. I got the 22# for my .40 and am very satisfied.

22# Spring w/ Don's GR in my XD40. Love it. Great improvement on recoil.

The answer to this question is probably posted here, but I'm feeling lazy.

What makes Don's guide rod better than the factory piece? How is it different from the stock design?

You can easily change recoil springs with Don's Guide Rod.
I use the 24 pound spring and see a big improvement in quicker followup shots and less muzzle rise.

willbond,

So the 22# works well in .357 Sig? Does it work well with stuff like DoubleTap ammo or other fast ammo?
