I like stainless but I doubt you need one.

Lots of good reviews with heavier spring added.

"Need". . .no. If you "needed" one, the gun would come with one from the factory, and if your gun doesn't run OK without one, something is wrong with the gun.
Can something like this offer some advantage? Meh. . .maybe.
It looks cool.
It will certainly last longer than a plastic guide rod, though bluntly, I think you'd probably have a pretty hard time wearing out your plastic one, and even if you did, its a pretty cheap part to replace.
In theory the extra weight up front from a metal rod will reduce recoil; in practice, you're not talking about a lot of extra weight here. I'd think most of the difference in perceived recoil described by the Amazon reviewers is due to the higher weight SPRING, which may reduce slide/frame battery a bit, not this rod.0 -
The gun was designed to use a plastic rod. Steel rods do not flex and will wear your slide prematurely. 0 -
No. There's no point in trying to gild the lilly.
I'd rather put wear into a guide rod than a slide.0
