Picked up a sweet p12 locally.  I stripped it and cleaned it really good.  Looks nearly new.  Shoots great with no malfunctions.  My question is why is there a plug and just a little nub for a guide rod?  I love this gun but my OCD says there should be a full length guide rod in it.  I've read all the bs about the original extractors not ejecting properly.  I went through 4/12 round magazines of cheap fmj ammo just to check function and its great.  

Has anyone upgraded their p12 to a full length guide rod?  This gun is beefy and on the heavy side loaded up with 13 rounds of 45 but for some reason I feel safer carrying this beast than my 380.

P12 uses a commander length guide rod, IIRC.  You can also send it back to the factory and get the upgraded guide rod from them.  I use a P12 slide on my Warthog.
