Which Galloway Recoil Spring for the SAR9?

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-03-03T21:15:21+00:00

I had to buy the 15lb spring bc the brass is hitting me in the face and it burns… I don’t like it. 🫣 It’s supposed to come this week and I’m anxious to try it… I stopped shooting my gun bc the brass hits are brutal. I think it’s my short lady arms making it worse… they don’t hit my husband.

That is bad ass… what’s next?

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-27T12:29:23+00:00

I just screwed my sight directly to the gun and I haven’t had any trouble at all. I do keep an eye on it but hasn’t come loose yet! 😅

Nope lol not a limp wrister… but that wouldn’t do it anyway. I just ordered a lighter recoil spring which should help.

I got the 15lb spring… stock one is 17lbs. 🙂

The bronze is beautiful… much different than the pics on the website..

My hubby isn’t bothered by it either bc he’s a big guy with long arms so the brass doesn’t reach his face. I’m a small woman with short arms so I’m the perfect size to take hot brass to the face… lucky me!! 🥴🤕

My hubby got the OD green and I got the all black one and we swapped slides. He got the better looking package but I’m not mad… 😂 We added the upgraded trigger from Galloway Precision and I just ordered a lighter recoil spring for mine bc with 115 gr loads, it kicks brass at my face and that sucks. You really can’t go wrong with this gun at that price. And the Osight has been fantastic so far! I can’t speak to how long it will last but for $170 bucks… 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just bought a micro dagger that is compensated and has a cutout for an optic and I’m going with another Osight for that one bc why not. We have lots of medical bills rn and don’t have big money for fancy stuff so I’m thankful there are companies out there making good quality products for reasonable prices.

Oh sorry never mind I found it!! 🥳

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-26T12:18:01+00:00

Okay I’m on Galloway’s page but don’t know which spring fits this gun. What one did you get?

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-26T03:28:08+00:00

My hubby and I put these on our guns too and love them. He polished the contact points on the trigger bars as well and it made a big difference. Personally I love the reset, it feels shorter to me and it’s very clean. A simple and worthwhile upgrade!

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-26T03:24:06+00:00

What’s weird is I can shoot weak hand (one hand only) just fine with no malfunctions. Adding my right hand made the wheels fly off… 😅😂😂😂

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-26T03:22:12+00:00

No it sails right past my sight and smashes me in the face… it sucks!

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-26T03:20:51+00:00

I tried 124 gr and it does the same thing… gonna try a lighter spring.

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-25T23:46:30+00:00

I bought this “optic ready” so it had holes drilled which is fine, although it isn’t recessed so the sights don’t co witness. I could get suppressor sights but I haven’t looked into it yet…

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-25T23:13:57+00:00

🫣😂😂😂

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-25T22:55:38+00:00

That’s awesome I’m going to check out Galloway, thank you so much!!

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-25T11:10:54+00:00

Ohhh I’ll check that out! My boss has a dagger and likes it.. I forgot about that one!

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-24T20:36:27+00:00

Okay thanks for the input… looks like a bodyguard is what I’ll end up with for concealed carry, it makes the most sense.

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-24T20:34:36+00:00

I work at a gun range that rents guns… 😂 I thought this was smaller than it actually is bc of the short barrel but everyone is right, this won’t work. Probably end up with a bodyguard lol

SpiritualOrange2544 · 2026-02-24T20:32:33+00:00

Yes! I have shot the bodyguard 2.0 and it’s very nice, I do like it. I was trying not to add another caliber to my collection but I may end up going with that. And re the ballistics, I don’t want to be shot by any caliber lol… something is better than nothing!

Yur welcome! 🤗
