I have my 92FS "Y1" pistol for just over a year, it has roughly 700 rounds through it. I know the "what, where, when" to change out parts on my ARs, but pistols are new to me. I have been looking in various forums and I can't find anything that recommends a spring change out time line. I don't plan on changing them out right now, but I would like to start working on a "spare parts box" for the future. When is a good time to start thinking about changing out the springs? Also, what about other various parts wearing out? Thanks! |

Here's the schedule I follow - given to me by someone very knowledgable whom I trust: Recoil and Main spring are changed out every 5,000 rounds. Trigger return and sear spring are changed out every 10,000 rounds. (I use a wolff trigger so I only change out the sear). All internal slide (firing pin spring, etc.) and frame springs (trigger bar spring, etc.) every 15,000 rounds. |

I suggest going ahead & buying a recoil spring from Wolff. They're only $10-12 each, pretty cheap. Every time you clean the gun, check the length of the old spring against the length of the new, unused spring. Once the old one is 1/2-1" shorter than the new one, trash it & install the new one. Repeat as necessary.
