The only springs that seemed to be an issue were the extractor springs (and for a short period in the mid '90s, some trigger springs.) The other springs -- recoil and hammer -- were fine. The recoil springs were typically a pound or two lighter than stated (i.e., 12 ilbs rather than 14 ibls.) but worked fine. The other springs (slide stop and the springs in the sear assembly and in the firing pin safety) were never a problem.
