I have my opinion on the new springs, my gun works great with them, but what i think is the reason for the change is, these guns are very tight, that's the reason for the 200 round break in, if you've read any of the posts on the forum you'll notice that a lot of guns have a failure to go into battery,fail to eject empties. I think the stronger springs will eliminate a lot of the problems right at the get go, and kahr will save money on exchanges all the parts that they are sending people trying to get there guns to work right.
