Beretta APX Striker Guide Installation 

It's in the works.

Great to hear it's back together and you are happy with the results. We appreciate your business.

I know I sent that sucker flying straight into my ceiling..more than once.

😂

Janette says hello!

GallowayPrecision Janette is the best; say “hi” back to her, thanks for her support, because of her I got this item delivered to me. Really this striker guide feels way different from the original one, thanks to you guys for your great ideas how to upgrade our pistols. And the review video about how to install this striker is so great and easy to do. Thanks for you guys.

Glad you are pleased. Thank you for the feedback.

Glad to help

@E ZA What are your thoughts?

How many rounds fired? I have a 7 lb trigger pull weight, average on a Lyman pull gauge, with this SS kit. Have not fired the pistol yet. It is brand new in the box.

Glad it helped!

Paul Klenk it’s a beretta. Much better than a glock

It's on the list, time is my enemy on a lot of stuff hahahaha.

Gunsquawk 44 so as mine

It's just you

my centurion has a smooth break

Smooth break but a heavy break as you mentioned.

Many thanks!

Good question, it has caused some confusion. It will only fit the Nano and the original APX Carry Single Stack. Will NOT fit the APX A1 Carry, APX A1 Full Size, APX A1 Compact, or APX A1 Full Size Tactical. Between the APX Carry and the APX A1 Carry the striker did change and we don't have one available for that pistol.

As soon as we start developing them you can bet I will. Hopefully towards the end of the year the panic buying will slow down some so we can get some sample pistols on the way.

This video is for the APX double stack. The APX single stack is a completely different gun.

Sorry, not something we can offer currently. I have plans to offer our rack assist plates in aluminum and that will be the best solution for you I believe. Going lower on the recoil spring rate is not a good option for lower racking effort and honestly will not help much, a rack assist will be much easier and better overall for your need.

We offer recoil spring assemblies for the apx full size yes. We do not offer any trigger springs. We do offer a striker guide replacement also under our apx parts page.

I had a similar experience. The GP striker spring felt heavier and I got those odd vibrations and sounds as well. I ended up using the OEM competition spring with the GP guide and it made all the difference. If you have not returned it yet, you could use the stock spring. The advantage of the GP guide is that it is uncaptured so you can change springs out. And its high quality stainless steel so it adds weight and won't bend. The OEM plastic guides get beat to hell each time I take it out to clean the striker and they wear and shed. Its hard to tell with the black one, but with the green I was finding tiny green specks of plastic in the internals. Not sure what GP has to say about using the OEM springs but so far I have had no issues.

@@rothearl9375 Thanks man! That is a great idea. I will definitely give it a try. I actually kept it. I figured sending it back will cost me additional money and though it might be my spare one. Here you provided me with a fresh idea. I have to say that GP was very responsive and customer service is outstanding. They gave me an option to return it - I just did not use it. Thanks again!

@@tomek.karpinski I got this solution from a review on eBay. Someone else had the same experience too and that’s what they did. One thing I should mention, getting an OEM spring off is straightforward. Getting it back on is really hard to do (at least for me). Just wanted to let you know in case you try it out and don’t like it. Hope it works out for you.

@@rothearl9375 I just tried this and it puts a ton of pressure on the striker block since it is uncaptured, standard and competition ones from beretta do not put any pressure that I see(push striker block with finger and striker doesn’t move), with this it is shooting forward. Think I’ll be sending mine back and stick with the green striker

@@donaldlococo7353 Thanks for the info. I was unaware that was happening. I ended up putting the factory striker back in and only fired 100 rounds with the GP striker/OEM spring. I imagine long term usage with that setup would not be good.

There has been enough interest in a trigger for the APX. It is on our list, but don't have an ETA at the moment.

You should be able to just compress it like in the video forward to allow the plate to slide off. Push the plate back to the lock position and retry compressing the guide.

We do offer a full Reduced Power Spring Kit for the Nano and APX Carry Single Stack pistols, sear spring, blocker spring, and stainless steel striker guide for nice trigger pull, smooth and easy action, this does not alter the striker spring. Reduces pull by about 1.5 lbs. It does not reduce pull length or reset length. It is on both our APX and Nano product pages of our Galloway Precision website. Sorry due to RU-vid's policy on firearms I can not leave a direct link to the website here.

Yes it will work in the Compact, Centurion, and Full Size.

The striker guide and spring are different on the APX A1. You can use the video to remove it on your A1.

The striker guide will be going up on the website by the end of this week, beginning of next week. Same for the guide rods.

@@GallowayPrecision Do you have for APX Centurion?

Probably, but I wouldn't do it. Beretta is selling them milled for an optic now straight from the factory though.

Let me see what I can make happen.

Their website.

Yes.

@@GallowayPrecision thanks

We have not tested theirs. Our Striker Guide Kit eliminates the wall, and has the added bonus of taking around 1lb to 2lbs off of the trigger pull weight depending on the tolerances of your particular pistol.

@@GallowayPrecision how many pounds is the striker spring you offer for the apx?

I've sent a couple out for people to test I should know pretty soon.

How did the testing go? I have a apx compact as well and I’m interested

I meant APX LMAO

Sorry, due to ITAR restrictions we can not ship outside the US.

They are on the list, but we needed to get caught up on guide rods first. If you contact Debbie through our website, she'll put you on the list to be notified as soon as they are ready.

As long as it is not the APX A1 Carry.

No.

GallowayPrecision thank you

Not currently, but it's on my list.

It really depends on the grain of the ammunition you will be shooting, also if you have the 9mm or 40S&W. 22lbs for the 40 would be your best bet, and 20lbs for the 9mm. If you're shooting powderpuff loads for competition I'd go with the 15lb.

GallowayPrecision Shooting mostly 124 Grain (sometimes 115) 9mm Blazer Brass. No competition (yet) just range target shooting is all. With that info what do you recommend? Also I'll be buying your firing spring as well. Thanks

20lbs will be your best bet.

Just ordered the 20lb guide rod and the SS Striker Guide Kit ... Hope it helps :)

Chris, do you have a range report? Thinking of getting both as well.

Yes it will.

They kinda are, the APX Carry. Basically a Nano and APX combined.

@@GallowayPrecision the APX carry I handled felt way to much like the Nano trigger. Long and heavy. I'd rather it be just like the APX trigger. Now if I can just figure out how to make my Nano trigger just like my APX

Your manual goes over that in detail.
