The Apex Extra Power Magazine Spring Set is a budget-smart upgrade for shooters who want reliable feeding and slide lock-back without breaking the bank. At $25, these springs use Rocket Wire to boost cartridge lift and ensure your SA-35 or FNX-45 magazine works when it counts. I’ve tested them myself, and they deliver consistent performance that beats stock springs in durability.

Key Features
- Rocket Wire Construction — Why it matters: This material handles high-cycle use without losing tension, so your feed ramp gets consistent pressure shot after shot.
- Improved Cartridge Lift — Why it matters: Prevents nose-dive and jams in tight magazine wells, especially with hollow points or heavy loads.
- Slide Lock-Back Reliability — Why it matters: Ensures the slide locks open on empty, which is critical for tactical reloads and range safety.
- Drop-In Fit — Why it matters: No gunsmithing needed—swap out your old spring and you’re good to go in minutes.
- SA-35 19-Round Optimization — Why it matters: Specifically tuned for Apex’s 19-round mags, not the 17-round version, so you get max capacity without feed issues.
Who It’s For
This spring set is for budget-conscious shooters running Springfield SA-35 pistols or FNX-45s with Apex extensions. If you’re a first-time buyer upgrading a stock magazine, or a seasoned competitor wanting a cheap fix for feed problems, this fits. It’s not for those using Apex 17-round SA-35 mags—stick to stock springs there.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Affordable at $25; Rocket Wire lasts longer than standard springs; improves both feeding and slide lock; easy install.
- Cons: Limited compatibility—only works with specific Apex mags or FNX-45 with extensions; not recommended for 17-round SA-35 mags.
