The natural “ slickness “ of the plastic one to me seems to equal the metal one. I stone only to smooth the surface of the metal one. It normally dropped in with no fitting needed. I have been shooting and working on thirdgens since the 80s, and both seem equal in their contribution to the action. I’ve only seen one broken one in 90 ish guns I’ve been inside 0f
