No AR15s have a spring-loaded firing pin, as they aren't necessary.
AR10s have a spring-loaded pin, because the increased mass of the pin could set off sensitive primers during chambering. -Troy |

My OLY .45 upper had a spring loaded firing pin. I tihnk the pistol calibers have them as an extra safety measure.

Yes, true. Pistol primers are much thinner and therefore much more sensitive than rifle primers, and for this reason, a firing pin spring is required to keep the pin from contacting the primer during cycling.
