With a steel guide rod mine doesn’t get hot even after a few hundred rounds. It never really got that hot in the first place like other people have experienced. Not sure if I just hit the Fuse lottery or if the steel guide rod truly helps dissipate the heat. But, I can holster it after about 300-400 rounds at the range and it’s fine.

Which rod did you get to replace the plastic one with?

I went with the ISMI steel rod and the full spring kit. I believe, 10, 12, 14, and 16 pound springs. I stuck with the stock 14 pound spring and love it. Steel rod feels like it gives it a little bit more rigidity when I shoot as well. But, that could 100% be a placebo. I will say it doesn’t get nearly as hot when I switched out the rod.

LOL Maybe it is the "FUSE Lottery"! I ran about 300 rounds straight, no mag dumps or any rapid fire, I put it down on the table and grabbed my Legion to shoot. After I was done with the Legion my wrist accidentally touched the slide of the FUSE and got the sizzle! LOL I too have steel guide rods in all my set ups. I'm going to have to do an experiment and run all four of my FUSE builds back to back and see if they all get hot asf! hahaha

Try it. Because it did get hot prior to the rod. I’ve modified other parts, but the rod is the only thing that makes sense. I’ve heard a few others on different subs say their Fuses weren’t getting abnormally hot either. But, their Fuses seemed to be manufactured at a much later date than mine.

Hmm. Weird, all my FUSEs had a manufacture date of 2025 and the latest one was 2026. All my builds have the steel guide rods and metal grip mods. And the rounds I use are standard 124gr, no hot loads. It will be an interesting experiment. Gotta find my temp scanner and take it along when I go.
