Default 3rd Gen Obsolete?

I tried to order some parts for my upcoming 4516-1 I just bought, mag springs, recoil springs, magazines, etc and was told the recoil spring was obsolete as were the mag springs...not good. Wolff can supply the recoil spring and I believe I have a dozen mag springs for the 4506 which will fit but the magazines I ordered were put on back order. He said he had over 100 people back ordered on the mags. I'm wondering if I made a mistake. I hope nothing breaks.

I realize they haven't made the 3rd gen pistols in some while but it hasn't been that long back I ordered mag and recoil springs from S&W along with a few extra mags for the 4506. Good thing I have a supply of recoil and mag springs for it as well as eight magazines.

I forgot to mention I was going to order the recoil springs from Wolff but there is a two week wait from the message after I started to check out. Apparently they've been inundated with orders.
