How critical is the main spring in this?

The reason I'm asking is that I've now ordered a new set of Wolff springs for my 1916 DWM.

Thanks & best

The performance of the main spring certainly makes a difference. The mag, recoil, and firing pin springs act in concert to balance forces and affect timing to produce the "beautiful music" of a dependable gun. If one or more is off, sour notes result... A fresh set of springs seldom hurts.

Ammo is another variable, and your pistol may just "like" another brand or format. Don't use +P or NATO spec.
