I did find a note somewhere that the factory spring was 18lbs and recommended spring for 9mm was 14lbs. I have a 14 but haven't put in the gun yet. It functioned so poorly with the 18lbs spring that I just quit shooting the gun. This thread had me in the garage digging the limited out of the back/bottom of the safe. I had forgotten I got a Wolf spring for a 39/59 that is 14 lbs. Also an 8lb spring for "reduced loads". I don't recall when I actually got those springs but it must have been when I moved cities. They were both forgotten but in the gun box.
Thanks to this thread, I might actually get that spring changed and give it a try again. Amazing pistol to have sitting in the floor of the safe. It deserves better. I wish Starline would make another run of 356TSW brass!
