APX Full Size Stainless Steel Guide Rod Assembly
Add weight to reduce muzzle flip and decrease follow up shot time of your APX pistol with the Galloway Precision Assembled Stainless Steel Guide Rod. Our assembly converts it to a flat wound recoil spring that allows use of different spring rates to tune the pistol to your needs and handloads. 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. These are polished and assembled with Loctite to your needs. Select spring rate and retainer screw color and we'll assemble it as requested.
Choose from Black Oxide Billet Steel or Stainless Steel Retainer with your choice of 15, 18, 20, or 22 pound recoil spring. Stock rate is 18lb.
Fits Beretta™ APX 9 and 40 Full Size Pistols Only. *** Will not fit the Compact or Centurion Models. ***
As always, proudly made right here in the USA.

I recently purchased the APX full frame tactical and on my first trip to the range had hangups on almost every round. I had mounted a Holosun 508T and was using 124gr and 115gr new ball ammo and all were a problem. As a side note I mounted my obsidian suppressor and the pistol cycled without issue. Crazy but I don’t know how to explain this or understand which way to go with a spring rate to fix shooting with and without a can any recommendations?
Apr 23, 2024, 08:27To much mass on it. The suppressor is going to need a booster spring setup in it for sure if it doesn't already come with it for pistol use. The 508t is pretty heavy as well so you have built a lot of weight into the pistol action and past the barrel for sure. Reaching out to the suppressor maker for help will be your best step for help with spring rate suggestions and confirming your suppressor is setup for pistol use and what spring rates they suggest for your barrel length and ammo pressures.

I see the question about the 20/22 lb spring for the 124gr.. what's recommended for 147gr? 18lb is used for 115gr I'm assuming, so would the 20/22 lb still be recommended for 147gr?
Apr 15, 2024, 10:00No 147 is typically sub sonic, moving slower due to less powder so it is lower pressure as a result. Stock or lower rates will typically work best. Unless it is +p loaded which would get the speed back up and the energy back up.

What rate would be best for 124 grain+ ammo
Feb 26, 2024, 09:55I would go with a 20lb or 22lb for that pressure range ammo.

Are there any plans to makw these for the APX A1 Carry model?? Thanks....
Jan 26, 2024, 09:26We offer one for that model under the Nano parts page as the pistol is just an updated nano, several parts swap over to the new version and cosmetics. We need to get the listing up for just it on the apx page. Thanks for the reminder.

Which spring would you advise for the use of a compensator which causes my regular spring and gun to jamb. Do you think the 15 would help.
Jan 2, 2024, 10:53The lower rate is for sub sonic loads, low pressure. I wouldn't think you would need a lower spring for high pressure ammo used with a brake. I would recommend reaching out the brake maker for suggestions to help guide selection.

Dan H.Oct 23, 2020, 09:52What a difference! After seeing the video of how increasing to 22# would tighten groupings, I gave it a shot. 115gr FMJ's cycle beautifully and recoil is diminished. Groups tightened up immediately. Do yourself a favor and do the striker upgrade as well. APX 9mm is so much fun to shoot now.
