LOL, I missed that what you bought was what ACEd was referring to.

From the GB pics it appears that:

It has a standard 3913 barrel (not a Briley) that someone obviously reamed to 356TSW & re-stamped the barrel's hood.

To shoot 9x19 all you need is a 3913 barrel (unmodified) of the same vintage that's been checked for the proper fit.

It also was obviously converted from the standard (.290") guide rod to the thinner (.237") guide rod by adding a bushing in the slide to reduce the diameter for the guide rod to ride in.

The dual/nested recoil spring is likely just a regular factory set.

You could remove the guide rod reduction bushing & use a standard (.290") guide rod & its single recoil spring if you wanted to with the 9x19 barrel.
