Yesterday I changed the recoil spring on my Kimber Compact for the first time. The gun has about 1200 rounds through it and racking the slide was feeling pretty mushy. Its like having a new gun now. Very tight and solid. This makes me wonder, though. How often should I be switching out the other springs on the gun?
BTW, I'm not even sure I even know all the springs on a 1911 - recoil, mainspring, hammer, extractor,.........any others?
