My new Beretta 92fs 9mm comes with a plastic guide rod. Would it cause problems if I replaced it with a metal guide rod. And will the metal guide rod damage other parts of the gun? Thanks

No, replacing the plastic guide rod of a Beretta 92FS with a steel one will not hurt other internal parts, and is generally considered a beneficial upgrade that offers increased durability and improved recoil control, with no risk to other components. The factory plastic guide rod is adequate, but a metal guide rod is preferred by many shooters for its longevity and potential to enhance performance and accuracy, especially under heavy use.
Benefits of a Metal Guide Rod:
Durability:
Metal guide rods are more durable than their plastic counterparts, which can warp over time and with frequent shooting.
Improved Recoil Control:
The added weight of a steel guide rod can help manage recoil, keeping the muzzle down for faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy.
