Description
The Rival Arms RA50G401T Guide Rod Assembly is a drop-in upgrade for the Glock 42 subcompact pistol chambered in .380 ACP. The rod is CNC-machined from a solid stainless steel billet and finished in Tungsten, adding mass forward of the slide to help reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip while smoothing follow-up shot recovery.
This assembly ships fully assembled with a premium stock-weight recoil spring already installed, so installation is a simple slide removal and direct swap – no gunsmith required. It is purpose-built for the Glock 42, integrating cleanly with the factory slide and barrel as a reliable replacement for the original polymer guide rod.
Whether you are dialing in a carry pistol, replacing a worn factory unit, or looking to tighten up recoil management, the RA50G401T delivers the precision fit, durability, and corrosion resistance Rival Arms is known for.
