The Radian Weapons AG175 Compressor guide rod for Glock 17 Gen5 is a screwless, quick-tune upgrade engineered to eliminate the loose-screw problem that plagues conventional guide rods. Instead of relying on a cap screw to hold things together, the Compressor uses a captured dovetail interface—locked securely by the spring itself. This simple mechanical advantage gives you a rock-solid setup without thread locker, so you can swap spring weights and fine-tune your trigger feel or recoil impulse whenever you want.
Built from hardened 17-4 stainless steel and finished in durable Nitride, this guide rod is heat-treated to handle thousands of rounds while shrugging off corrosion and wear. The fluted design reduces friction, letting the spring move freely for smoother, more consistent cycling. It's the kind of no-nonsense upgrade that appeals to shooters who want control over their gun's behavior without sacrificing reliability.
The package includes three flat-wire spring options—13lb, 15lb, and 18lb—so you can experiment and dial in the exact feel for your shooting style or training needs. Whether you're a range regular, a competition shooter, or someone who just wants the best-functioning Gen5 on the line, this is a piece that actually earns its place in your gun.

Yes. The kit includes a captive bushing designed specifically for Gen4 and Gen5 compatibility, along with a washer for Gen3 users if needed.
The three springs—13lb, 15lb, and 18lb—allow you to adjust recoil impulse and cycling behavior to match your preferences or training needs. Heavier springs slow down the slide cycle; lighter springs speed it up.
No. The screwless captured dovetail design eliminates the need for thread locker. The spring itself secures the dovetail interface, so you can swap spring weights freely without worrying about adhesive commitment.
Nitride is a hard, durable surface treatment applied through heat. It resists corrosion, reduces friction, and withstands extended use far better than bare steel, keeping your guide rod reliable and looking sharp.
