Thanks for any info.

Replaced mine after 500 rounds. Probably didn't need it but it looks better and makes me feel better!

+1 I did the same thing after 200rds.

Replaced mine with the stainless model in my P9... looks better, and the SS rod doesn't get all beat up by the recoil spring like the factory rod does.

Where did ya'll find the SS guide rod? Looking for the best price. I have only put around 150 rounds through my CW9 so far, but I definitely will replace the guide rod with the SS rod.
