how often should I change my springs?

[cowboysfan66]

Hello all,

I have a 24/7 DS 9mm, and I have shot about 1500 rounds through it. I clean it after every session and I was just thinking, ..... How often should I change my recoil springs and striker assembly? It still shoots perfect, only a few misfires (I think due to cheap ammo).

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks alot!

See how things are going at about 6,000 rounds and if they aren't going well at that point, consider changing them then.

Thanks Jake, that is just what I wanted to hear!!

I've got over 8k through my 24/7 pro ds 4".

Just had my uncle (a ffl gunsmith) take a look and install a roll pin that had come loose (paid Taurus $2 for replacement rather than sending in gun)

Uncle said my gun looked in brilliant shape for 5k+.

Check your recoil spring assembly to make sure it is tight. Don't bind the springs "tightening" it unnecessary but do note the rods screw together. Mine was just a little loose (probably from disassembly cycles) and I tightened it up. (I fixed this months ago)

maybe just mine, but after about 2000 rounds, I felt like the slide was moving too easy. got a new spring assembly and it seems better. maybe just a random occurance.

My first two prings only lasted about 2,000 rounds. The third spring is failing at about 1,000 rounds.
