My experience with metal guide rods are just the opposite. On two separate occasions at the Sunday matches at BW va_dinger and I have seen one Glock with a busted plastic guide rod continue to run and one with a metal one lock up.
My theory is this; if your gun came with a metal guide rod run a metal guide rod. If it came with a plastic guide rod run a plastic guide rod.
My current G19 guide rod has over 7000 through it and the one in my G17 has over 5000 through it. I'm not worried.
Now, if you want to dick around with spring weights and stuff then run a metal one but usually those folks don't carry and rely on it to save their ass.
