Has anyone used a dual action guide rod in there sig 226

Wondering if the dual action guide rod for the sig 226's are worth the $65.+ as seen on e-bay. Seller states:
Our Frame-Saver Dual Action Recoil Springs offer these advantages:

Impact: The elimination of the slide impacting the frame at high speed preserves the structure of the firearm - and your rather significant investment!
Muzzle Control: By changing the final backward movement of the slide from a sudden stop to a progressive stop, muzzle jump is greatly decreased by 40% giving you more control.
Function: No interference of ejection port or any feeding problems.
Progressive: This is a system designed to reduced the backward motion of the slide in progressive stages after the gun is shot. The effect of this system is that the recoil is reduced by 40% making your follow up shots much easier to shoot. This is a VERY effective system.
Stability: Better stability for your barrel. Stainless steel guide rod replaces plastic guide rods for superior barrel support and function.
Better Accuracy: Progressively slows down your slide from heavy impact against the frame. Works just like a car shock absorber, reducing the slide impact. Lower impact means less recoil, accurate recovery of the weapon for on-target accuracy is better achieved, shot after shot. Even expert shooters can benefit from lower recoil.
Lower Frame Shock: The slide is one of the heaviest components in a semi-automatic pistol. Upon firing, the slide slams back with great energy against the frame. Frame Saver Dual Actions springs can lower this slide impact dramatically, preventing excessive wear, cracked slides and damaged frames, particularly on modern polymer framed pistols such as glocks, Sigmas & HKs.
Drop In Fit: Direct replacement for your factory spring assembly. No modifications required. So anyone have an opinon and does it work??

Those claims are bogus, especially the one about the guide rod supporting the barrel. (The guide rod's only function is to keep the spring from kinking; it is not a highly stressed part. I am not going to spend time picking the rest of them apart.) If SIG thought their pistols needed such a device, they would have put one in them. The more you deviate from a gun's original design, the more prone it becomes to malfunctions. (Ask numerous 1911 owners.)

My thanks to The Lone Haranguer for the heads up !! Sounded to good to be true ! Safety first !! That same company produces one piece stainless steel barrel's for a few sig's and they do look impressive if I may say so. (226-.40 to .357). Again thanks.

Why would you bother with their potentially and most likely crappy barrel?

You can get the factory Sig barrels at TopGunSupply at reasonable prices. They drop in, no fitting required. Some aftermarket barrels have to be fitted by a gunsmith.

I only use the factory designed guide rods in my Sig's.

Also, I seriously doubt you will wear out a pistol and thus it doesn't need anything else added to it. I fully expect most modern pistols to last well beyond 100,000 rounds. At one point I talked to Sig and asked them how many rounds I could expect before wearing it out. They have some Sigs out there with 250,000 rounds through them. If I was ever fortunate to shoot enough to wear my Sig out, I'd hang it over the mantle and let it retire with the full glory it deserves.

After working with stainless steel for 39 years I believe the EFK Firedragon barrels to be top of the line. One piece CNC machined #416 stainless steel, Vacuum heat treated and a lifetime warranty. Sometimes people like aftermarket products, say for a vehicle or a firearm. It all a matter of what your comfortable with. Do all people only use brand of ammunition? I do respect your input and thanks !!
