The Stainless guide rod is one of the only upgrades i put in all my Glocks. There is negligible weight increase, and i doubt you could even measure any difference in recoil.
I can't see cracking the frame with one, as it doesn't change the spring rate, that said, i also use a frame buffer in all mine as well. The .45 is a pretty low pressure round, and doesn't beat things up.
What i do find is the slide runs smoother with the stainless rod in place.
All mine are Gen3, doubt that makes a difference.
