1. Number one reason is they bend easily.
2. They become loose too easy
3. To keep tight buy little o rings (hassle)
4. Expensive ones you can bend back but usually not straight.
5. Break off in barrel you got problems.
Nylon,
1. cheap
2. wears very good
3. don't need O rings
4. stays straight better
5. If break in barrel easier to remove.

metal stems get out of round real easy and you have to keep tightening them up even with o-rings- too much of a hassle for me.

Agreed.
There seems to be an emphasis on weight, balance, etc etc but people still use aluminum.
Once they bend they are rubbish.
Rarely break stems, even less so since using Cosmo, but I'm happy to replace them as often as I need too knowing my darts will be straight!
