Frequently Asked Questions
Why upgrade the guide rod on a Glock 43 or 43X?
Factory guide rods are plastic. NDZ stainless steel guide rods offer greater durability, smoother cycling, and reduced muzzle flip; especially under rapid fire.
What’s the difference between standard and heavyweight guide rods?
Standard guide rods add strength and longevity over the factory plastic rods. While our heavyweight rods are thicker and heavier, helping reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise even more. Both are major upgrades over stock parts.
Are NDZ guide rods drop-in replacements?
Yes. Our guide rods are fully drop-in for Glock 43 and 43X models. No fitting or gunsmithing required, just swap and go.
Will a heavier guide rod affect reliability?
No. NDZ guide rods are tested for consistent performance with standard and defensive loads. Heavier rods improve control without compromising function.
Are Glock 43 and 43X guide rods interchangeable?
Yes. The 43 and 43X share the same recoil assembly design, so our guide rods fit both models seamlessly. Just confirm compatibility on the product page before ordering.
