If you go this route, be sure to grind the ends of the rebound spring flat, as is the factory rebound spring. Otherwise, it is difficult to install even with a dedicated gunsmithing tool. Grinding is easy with a common drill and grinding stone attachment.
I would advise others to be very careful with any power tools and abrasives.

You can get a nice smooth rebound slide, bottom end edges included,
with a fine polishing stone, in just a few minutes.
