As far as I can tell, they only make the gun harder to strip and reassemble.

My Colt XSE with a FLGR is no more difficult to strip and reassemble than a 1911 with a standard guide rod.
That said, I do not think a FLGR is a necessity nor a hindrance. The 1911s I've shot with and without them seem to be pretty equal as far as reliability or accuracy goes. The ones with a FLGR "feel" a little slicker when fondling/racking the slide, but I haven't seen any other real benefits.
