Does the use of this rod run the risk of increasing wear on the slide when compared to the standard LCP guide rod? I'm sure the question has been asked but I couldn't find a conclusive answer.



Edit: Hope not because I just bought one.

I have the custom and I also have the standard second generation LCP. Both guns have metal guide rods but the standard has a blued rod so it shouldn't really make a difference.. As for the custom, what nice little gun. I'm really liking mine.

I'm pretty excited about it. Haven't really heard any complaints about it!

The Custom is worth very bit more than the standard model. Better finish, sights and trigger. The only thing I can't find is a longer finger extension. I bought some of the Pierce extensions, but they are too big and when on the magazine, they won't allow the magazine to seat in the frame/catch.

Same issue with my Custom... I called Ruger CS and they sent me a new mag catch which was slightly better but it's still tighter and there's less vertical play in magazines than with my two non-Customs.
