Do keep in mind the problem (appears) to be with the aftermarket SPRING, not so much the rod--tho they come as a pair, yadda yadda. The fact that the aftermarket rod is steel probably doesn't help, but if the spring length was correct, it likely wouldn't matter.
The fully compressed aftermarket spring is longer than it should be, apparently, in the cases where spring tabs are breaking. The S&W spring should *never* cause that damage--the slide should always hard-stop on the frame, not the spring tabs, regardless of how tired the spring gets.
