Has anyone with SD9VE using a steel guide rod had this problem? So far I've seen 2 or 3 threads on this issue and it's always been the SD40VE. I'm guessing this is because of the nature of 40 cal recoil.

I wonder why we aren't hearing more about this issue. This pistol has been out for a few years now and there are plenty of people using steel guide rods in these pistols. Perhaps more and more threads will pop up with time.

Can someone with galloway guide rod take measurements of it? I would like to compare the measurements to the Glock 19 steel guide rod that I'm using in my SD40VE.
