Again, call Ruger. They probably have it, even though it's not on their website.

He talked to them. Ruger has them, but are keeping the ones they have for repairs, and won't sell them to individuals.
Apple a Day:
I think you'll find that your practice of swapping out recoil springs at 2000 round is doing it much more frequently than necessary. Those springs ought to be good for 5000 cycles, at last, and maybe much more! (I had a 95DC and put a lot more than 2000 trounds thru it without issues.)
That said, I can understand you wanting to have a backup.
As I noted earlier, go to the Numrich site, [ gunpartscorp.com] and ask them to notify you when the part you want is back in stock. You do this by selecting the part on their online listing, and clicking the WISH LIST option. It will be back in stock, one of these days.
And try calling Ruger again and see if they can /will give you the Specs for the springs. Some gunsmiths can MAKE springs, and Wolff Springs may have one or two that are very close to the Ruger spec, and you can mix and match and make your own set.

Keep shooting it and don't worry. I have never seen or heard of a P95 being damaged from a worn recoil spring. If it does become an issue, send it to Ruger- they will take care of it. If the car you are driving gets discontinued would you quit driving it because the factory no longer makes parts?

I'll contact wolf and put in the request for a P-95 recoil spring
Midway shows the recoil spring assembly (springs/guiderod/camblock) for sale for about $34. Current status is "temporarily unavailable".
Ruger dumped a huge amount of spare parts onto the market some years ago. I saw it happening and later realized what was going on. It was a fundamental change in the philosophy of the company and it can be seen in many other ways. What it amounts to is that they now stock only a minimal supply of replacement parts for their old/discontinued products.
Just keep in mind that when you buy a Ruger now that you shouldn't expect spare parts to be available past the point at which that model is discontinued. It's probably a better business model, but it's not how things used to be.
