I picked up a 9mm P30 v3 for a great deal the other day. It's been used, but I don't believe it's been shot a ton based on the wear inside.
I know the trigger return spring is borked since the slide release will come all the way out without catching on it (it's supposed to be retained by that spring, right?), but it seems to work fine.
Should I bother replacing anything given the unknown round count? Should I just go ahead and shoot it until something breaks or until I decide I want to carry it?
My intention is to carry it, but I won't do that until I've shot it for a while and trust it (and my ability to shoot it), so reliability is a concern - I just wonder if the service expectation for a P30 spring is high enough that I don't really need to worry.
I think my concern is born from my recent 1911 experience where everything had to be replaced just to get it to function decently!
Thanks!
