How to Reduce Glock Recoil

With all handguns and rifles, a specific amount of recoil is produced when firing a round. Depending on the size of the round, this recoil could be very light or very heavy. A Glock handgun typically has a low recoil, but because it's a handgun, the recoil is felt throughout the wrist and arm. This can cause inaccurate firing when firing multiple rounds at a target. Changing out the Glock guide rod and replacing it with a recoil reducing guide rod can greatly reduce your Glock's recoil.
