It is REALLY not necessary to change one of these. I haven't heard of a single breakage of Glock guide rod under shooting conditions. The only breakage I've heard about is from chipping the seating end of guide at the barrel lug when people try and be 'Joe Cool' and slap their stuff together w/out paying attention.
If you decide you want a steel guide rod don't bother getting any fancy recoil reduction system. I would recommend getting a captured system and using the factory spring rate for all normal purposes. |

Kevin is right about the lack of problems reported with factory plastic guiderods. I must admit that at first I had the same urge to replace it but after awhile I realized that it was all in my head. Peaople have the same problem with the plastic sites but I have never heard of them breaking off like you might imagine. Try to remember that no part of the Glock design was just an "accident". Learn to use it stock first and then decide if there is anything wrong before you go "fixing" things!

As for the plastic sights, I HAVE personally witnessed breakage on the factory front sight (actually the white dot came out of the thing). I would think that the metal guide rod could, theoretically, smooth up the slide function a bit if the captured platic guide rod were a bit marred (on the factory piece). I just can't justify spending 50 bucks for such a thing for my Glock 27.
