    If it's an armscor, as loose as they are yeah you can probably get away with it. Something as tight as my Wilson combat, I prefer to completely disassemble it every 1000 rounds, oil everything and KNOW it's in fighting condition. They ain't glocks, they take a little bit of tlc.

    Have you even checked to see what your current recoil spring length is as compared to a new spring? Springs are cheap insurance from beating frames and slides up. But you run it how you want, makes me no nevermind
