Replace the recoil spring and firing pin spring together. They most often are sold together. Get a spare extractor, it is likely gonna need replacing soon. Don't replace the sear spring since there is no such individual spring. There is a leaf spring that controls the sear, disconnect and grip safety. All three legs need to be tuned properly to prevent hammer follow down or slam fires. Firing pins almost never wear out on a 1911. Check your magazine springs as well. Rule of thumb is to replace the recoil spring and firing pin spring and magazine springs at roughly 5 to 7k rounds.I have about 10,000 rounds thru my stock 9mm. What parts should I replace now? Are there any parts I should have spares for when they do fail?:?:
I disagree there is a spring in the wilson combat kit sold at Midwayusa.. I know as i just bought one and replace the recoil spring and fireing pin spring and the Mainspring...Replace the recoil spring and firing pin spring together. They most often are sold together.

I apologize XDM bitone, I should clarify...when I stated that there is no such individual "sear spring" I literally mean there is no such individual "sear spring" for purchase... but rather a leaf spring that contains 3 arms and one of those "arms" acts as the sear spring, but rather it is not a separate part since it also has 2 other arms that act on the disconnect and grip safety as springs. I was being a bit technical in my description, in addition to building holsters for 16 years, I have been a 1911 pistolsmith for the last 7 years and often I am too specific and technical, so I apologize and am glad you posted since it give me a chance to be more detailed in my response.I disagree there is a spring in the wilson combat kit sold at Midwayusa..
