I am getting ready to order a new Wolf recoil spring for my 3913 and am undecided whether to get the factory spec spring or the "extra power" version. With the stock spring, mine has never malfunctioned in probably 2000 rounds, and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." However, I would like to be able to shoot Cor-Bon +P loads and am wondering whether the more powerful spring would increase frame/slide longevity. Any thoughts?

If you're gonna feed your 3913 a steady diet of those Corbons, I'd get the extra power spring.

I've been using recoil buffers in a few pistols as well. C&S sells a unit that replaces the whole recoil assembly, and there are others. These work pretty well: http://www.buffertech.com/sw.htm
