Im proper installation or modification to the spring guide can cause it to slope downwards beneath the extractor. Thus, it has the potential to shoot out if it's too short or if the spring guide is not sitting BEHIND the extractor.
The only way for your spring to pop out is if the spring is too long and if you have the BBU out of the slide or is you just didn't install the spring correctly along with the spring guide.
The spring guide is important because...well...it guides the spring.
Think of how your recoil spring system works. It's the same concept.
You should have it there.
Not having it there means the muzzle spring can shoot out at ANY GIVEN TIME. THe spring guide stops this from occurring...
