I'm not saying don't buy it, but perhaps look into: can you find a replacement recoil spring for it? Will they sell you one? Or perhaps is the spring of a different gun compatible with it?

That's the main issue with import guns if they have to go through another company to import.

For example, I bought an EAA EZ9, but EAA changed their lineup and no longer imports or offers spare parts. Now KVAR imports them but no one has been able to get a spare part from them that I know of.
