I recently bought an 945-1 in 3.25" barrel.

I call Smith and Wesson and got a cantankerous guy who asked me if I had a part number. When I told him I didn't have one, he told me that they didn't have the recoil springs.

I was amazed because I have ordered recoil springs for my Shorty 40 and 952 before.

Anyone know how I can get a few recoil springs for this model? The springs for the 945-1 look different than any other recoil spring I have seen.

Here is a picture of the pistol in question

Already checked their website.

They don't have them.

I am going to talk to the warranty people for S&W in my area and see what they can do.

It is bolsagunsmithing.com

S&W has to have them. The gun is back in production.

Nice gun, huh?

Yes, I agree they almost certainly do have these recoil springs.

Problem is I got a grumpy, burnt out, *** on the phone. His customer service skills leave a lot to be desired.

I can understand a guy getting totally sick and tired of taking calls but to get to a point that he won't even look up an item is ridiculous.

If you are correct and these pistols really are back in production (mine was made in October of 2006) then that is even worse!
