I remember reading a review of a new "1911" in one of the major glossy gunrags, and the reviewer made a point of mentioning the presence of the damaged plunger spring, and how he replaced it with a nice, new, straight spring. Reminiscent of Steve Martin's "The Jerk" wanting "fresh" wine rather than that stale, old wine he was offered.
