If "most" clones have a straight spring, they are wrong and the spring and plunger(s) will take off. The plungers should have little grooved "tits" on one end into which the spring will snap, making the spring and two plungers into an assembly that was not meant to be taken apart. The kinked spring keeps the whole assembly from falling/flying out when the safety is removed.

Plungers and spring not made that way are the product of a cheapjack maker who either doesn't know what he is doing or is willing to frustrate his customer to save a few cents.
