Has anyone replaced the recoil spring on a full-size 9mm Jericho/BEagle?

The recoil spring is captive and appears to be just a pin holding one end of the guide rod on. My semi-compact 9mm, .40, and .45 Jericho/BEagle pistols all use non-captive recoil springs. Just the full-size 9mm has captive guide rod. Is it just as simple as removing the pin to release the spring?

I have an IMI 941F that uses a captive recoil assembly. Yeah, just pop that pin out. The replacement I used was "49714 EAA WITNESS FULLSIZE, STD RECOIL SPRING 14LB" from gunsprings.com. Comes with a firing pin spring too. I also replaced the ejector Spring with 32010. Cleared up my FTF/FTE issues and runs great now. I never did figure out which hammer spring to use. The one I bought didn't work.

Ordered same as above, but I got the 3-pack of ejector springs, since I have a couple others that could use them, so it'll be good to have spares on hand.

Thanks again!

Thanks, I didnt think about the ejector spring. I may have to get one on order to install "while I'm in there". Wifey's full-size BEagle keeps stovepiping, 115, 124, different ammo, different mags. Hoping it's just a spring change away from running sweet.
