The title says it all. I want to freshen up my new-to-me 5903SSV with some Wolff springs, but am unsure which recoil spring to order. I would assume it would be the same as the standard 3913 (not the NL or LS).
Which recoil spring for 5903SSV?

From the parts list...
M5903SSV Part no.060480000 RECOIL SPRING
Same spring that goes in a standard 5903 or 5906
Cheers

I think you are correct.
With the short slide, I would expect the spring for the 3913/6906 slide pistols.
Although Bill is correct, the S&W parts list indicates the same part number for the full size 5903/6 spring, I am dubious.
I would think the full length spring would coil bind in the short slide.

Thanks guys. I'll compare springs with my 3913 and 59 just to be safe.

I had been wanting a 5903 SSV for years. I finally bought a really nice one off a gun bidding site 3-4 months ago. I always keep extra factory recoil springs for all my carry pistols. So when the 5903 SSV arrived I already had a new spring for my 3913. I think I asked the same question to the guys here and they said it's the same spring and they were correct. The recoil spring in the SSV was probably original and was a little shorter and weaker than the new 3913 spring. I installed the new spring plus my SSV came with a factory magazine and i replaced the spring in it as well. I'm probably at the 300 to 350 round mark at this point and it's been flawless. It's replaced my 3913 in in a lot of situations.
