For the sake of my grand and/or great grandkids I ordered a full set of springs for my Ruger P95DC. 50 or more years down the road (less than that, likely) finding a spring for the Ruger could prove impossible. The order included 3 mag springs and a spring that is supposed to be factory fitted only. So for $35 I have a spring fixit kit coming for a gun that is probably near indestructable otherwise unless left in the rain, as most steel parts are stainless steel. Prices have about doubled from my early gun instruction manual, but I think the price is still good for factory parts.
I hope guns are still legal down the road.

that IMHO is very smart thing to do.:wink: buying spare parts now, some of the companies are not going to make it and then secondary parts suppliers are going to be asking a higher price for their parts. that is the way the system works. if you never need them that is even better. kind of like health insurance, hold it :rolleyes: i don't want to go there just now.

Good planning, have have done some similar things for my kids, the oldest being 7. Without the springs they are just cool paper weights.
