I Keep a lasermax on my home defense glock, which I occasionally opt to use as my carry gun.  Whenever I don it as my CCW I often wonder if I should return the original Guide rod to it, like I do at the range, in case I needed multiple rapid rounds.  I guess I dont fully trust a delicate laser in a all-out SHTF situtation.  My question:  How does the structural integrity of a Laser Max compare to the factory Guide Rod?  Also, how do the After market guide rods and recoil springs compare in both performance and durability?

I work at a shop in No VA, we have installed plenty of Lasermaxes...no problems reported, even after 1000's of rounds.  I had one for a while...it worked through 23K rounds...not problems.

I have a Lasermax for my G17 and one for my G26.

I have shot thousands of rounds also and I shoot only +P+ ammo.

On two separate occasions I have had the guide rod move out of place and effectively disable my G17. Upon examination the battery cap had sustained noticeable ware.

I sold my G26 and I no longer use a Lasermax in my G17.

This is not an indictment of Lasermax or their product. Even with the excessive punishment I dished out to the one in my G17 it always functioned perfectly for the first 2000-3000rds and was made like new again with a new battery cap.
