Beretta Heavy Competition Recoil Spring Assembly for APX 9mm/.40 S&W

The Beretta Heavy Competition Recoil Spring Assembly for APX 9mm/.40 S&W (Beretta part number C8C680) is a metal recoil spring assembly built specifically for competitive shooters running the APX under heavier loads. Where the factory polymer recoil spring guide works fine for standard-pressure ammunition, a heavier competition load can benefit from the added mass and consistency of an all-metal assembly, which helps manage slide velocity and felt recoil over a long stage. This assembly is built for the APX chambered in 9x19mm, with the listed size/finish also noting compatibility with .40 S&W chamberings.
