The salient part of Patrick Villier's comment to me was
"The Erma conversion is not all that successful".
For the $500-$600 these kits are going for these days, I'm happy to remain ignorant.
Edit: Patrick Villiers expands further on his comments on Jan Still's forum -

(Patrick is Guest_V).
There are two springs in the Erma toggle; one for recoil, one for the firing pin. The Erma toggle assembly comes apart quite easily for replacing the springs; chasing them across the room can be invigorating...
Maybe Ed Tinker would be willing to try replacing his Erma 'recoil spring' with a P-38 mainspring...The Erma spring is called a 'breech-closing spring' in the Erma manual/parts breakdown...
