So, I've done a lot of reading and research about guide rods, and I was finally able to find a fresh recoil spring/guide rod assembly for my 5,000-round flawless, 5-year-old Beretta PX4. I'm thinking I'll send the new assembly to Steve Bedair for one of his custom captured recoil spring stainless guide rods.

I'm not much concerned about whether it's worth the money, and I know polymer guide rods are fine 99% of the time, but my question is - will the stainless rod have a negative impact on my totally flawless (so far) pistol?

Just in case it does I'll be keeping the used, proven guide rod assembly.
