Captured Sure Feed Guide Rod Assembly for Ruger LC9s EC9s Pistols
The LC9s / EC9s Captured Sure Feed Guide Rod Assembly
*** Not for LC9 Pistols ***
With the release of the LC9s we saw a new version of the LC9, with new problems. The biggest single problem is the poor feeding and failure to battery due to the bad design of the recoil assembly. We have fixed this giving 100% feeding with quality ammo use. This is our new Captured Sure Feed guide rod assembly for the LC9s. This is a refined version of our Gen 2 Sure feed assembly. This assembly includes our 19lb Recoil Spring and Black or Stainless Retainer, Slide Washer, and Stainless Steel Guide Rod. This patent pending system is only available from us, get yours to insure correct function of your LC9s.
The flat wound springs are made for us by ISMI, a leader in the spring market here in the U.S.A, to our specifications. Made on the same machines that make springs for Formula 1 and IndyCar race cars, made exclusively with aerospace specification alloys. Made from Chrome Silicon Spring Wire, the only choice for a longer lasting, more enjoyable shooting experience verses inferior Music Wire springs.
Assemblies are available in your choice of Stainless Steel with matching Stainless Retainer or Black Oxide Billet retainer.
Factory spring rate is 17 lbs.
Fits Ruger™ LC9s and EC9s Pistols only.
Use of quality ammo only recommend, like stock do not use steel cased ammo, SB ammo, Fiocchi ammo or any off brand reloads.
As always, proudly made right here in the USA.

My LC9s has the later Ruger guiderod with a cone end pointing into the spring rather than the earlier flat-button end. Is your assembly an improvement over both or meant to fix the guide rod problem as originally released?
Dec 20, 2023, 09:51It is stainless and single sprung for easier operation. We also have a rate option for the spring over stock.

What comes standard with my EC9 ? 17 pound or 19 pound? And what would you recommend for an all-around improvement as far as that spring goes?
Jan 2, 2023, 10:46Stock is 17lbs, we offer both for options. The 19 is going to be slightly better at recoil control for full pressure and higher pressure ammo.

Recoil spring Ruger LC9s: What would be a disadvantage to using 19 lb. spring - if any? Thanks.
Oct 28, 2022, 13:34It may have cycle issues with low pressure bulk practice ammo. Will be fine with full pressure ammo.

Would a change in spring rate be warranted when adding an optic (thus changing the weight of the slide)? Once the Galloway plate is available I will be reinstalling it (had the ADE, which fit poorly and repeatedly loosened). I did notice a few cycling issues in the short time I had it installed and wonder if the addition of the optic could have contributed to it.
Oct 17, 2022, 10:56Cycling issues with the center fire like the 9mm would suggest low pressure ammo or weak grip. The optic plates fit correctly without issue, they are test fit 100% on a nominal slide provided by ruger, we hold a tighter tolerance than the dovetail range though. If you do not loctite the screws they will loosen up with use regardless. The ADE optics listed fit perfectly without any fit issues on the sample optics we have in house and the prints ADE provides for footprints, the optics are low end and do have variation in size on the location studs due to the molding processes.

Vincent ec9sFeb 16, 2024, 18:10This guide rod works! Just got back from the range and my ec9s ran perfect. Seems to have made racking the slide more fluid and gun more steady but could be in my head. Part is a serious upgrade from the factory part.

NevinApr 26, 2023, 13:45Wow! I picked up a new EC9s recently, and I’m not sure if the guide rod was defective or if I damaged it during a breakdown but I wanted to replace it before it became an issue and happened upon Galloway Precision. This product is not only the most recommended “upgrade” in online forums but this thing is impressive! I was expecting a thin piece of metal with the improved spring, similar to what the Ruger version looks like, however that wasn’t the case at all. The guide rod is thicker and looks to be solid and much higher quality, you would expect to see something like this inside the EC9s from the factory. I’m excited to test this out at the range soon!

MikeOct 9, 2022, 07:51As usual top quality guide rod and spring from Galloway. I got the stainless 19lb spring and now my Ec9s eats up anything I put in it. Not to mention it really goes well with the red Aegis trigger I installed also. Great quality and really made a mediocre gun into a fantastic EDC that I would trust my life on.
