[QUOTE="S&W 10, post: 1310577, member: 7355"] I just read the aforementioned article and found it to be quite informative. Although I'm not a recognized writer/author; just from my limited experience with the compact semi-auto's I do shoot as opposed to those that just stay in the safe, its been found if the recoil springs are changed at approx. 2-3000 rounds, they tend to stay pretty reliable. I began shooting the Colt Officer before starting to keep a spread sheet on round count for each of my firearms; buy a SWAG it must be nearly 20,000 rounds since having Mr. Hallock give it a few slight mods at about 5-6,000. One of my CS45's on the other hand, has only 7,850 rounds fired and has had its spring changed just twice...it probably needs to be replaced (need to keep better tabs on maintenance). With multiple magazines, it's a bit harder to keep track of round count, but they get springs and followers replaced whenever one begins exhibiting feed issues. Usually I attempt to fire a thousand, or two, or three... trouble free rounds before a handgun proves itself reliable for defensive use, which is why I really like revolvers and/or a good shotgun!
