If this replaced main spring is out of spec, the gun would probably have functional issue.

[Side Q: What's the specified parameters of main spring on 9mm Parabellum. Initial tension, how many newtons per centimeter compression, etc?]
alvin,

MY main concern is, will the frame stand up to repeated trips to the range because I bought it as a shooter?

Sometimes the toggle doesn't want to close all the way when I pull it back about a half inch to set the trigger.

Is this normal or could it be part of a new spring issue?
