After talking to others who have experienced this or have seen others experience this, it’s not a matter of if it happens but when. Even though I have about 18k rounds on my pistol while using it, I will never use one again.
@@LeoDeLeon707 I appreciate the info. I've been running one on the LO Staccato but I'm still under 10K on that one. I like the ease of assembly/disassembly so I got one for the SS 1911 I'm about to start using, but hadn't considered it as a failure point. I guess I'll have to pick up EGW or two.
@@UncleZo I’ve never had one fail but knew it was still a consumable part and expected it to fail at some point. If you decide to run one, maybe changing it at 10-15k would be a good practice. Doing it is just tough to do when they are $100 versus a regular guide rod being $30-$50.
Well done bruddah! Long time no see since IPSC Nats! - Edrick
Yo! It’s been way too long! I hope all is well!
Well done Leo!
I hope you’re doing well, Mark!
Is that tool-less guide rod failure common?

@@LeoDeLeon707 Again I appreciate the info. Changing them out around 10-15K sounds like a plan and $30-50 is more appealing. Anyway, good chooting!
