    Replace the recoil spring and firing pin spring, possibly replace the mainspring if you are getting light primer strikes, run a couple hundred rounds through it to assess reliability and accuracy.

    There are a couple of areas you might want to inspect closely for damage, based upon my personal experience. Check the firing pin stop. I have had these develop a crack at about the 7 o'clock position. Check the frame where the cut for the slide stop is located for a crack. Check your barrel bushing for cracks. Hopefully everything looks okay.
