Picking a quality 1911 like the CRG makes that a lot easier. Still, you're running a steel on steel gun and the frame doesn't flex like a polymer gun does. At 3K, recoil spring replacement just makes sense. If you run an Aimpoint Micro on your carbine and the battery will run for 5 years, are you really out all that much to replace it every year?
To the OP, external 1911 extractors are controversial for two reasons. Purists don't like it and several early makes and models didn't do them well. S&W did it correctly, so no worries there.
What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…
