I go by how hard the slide seems to come back and the length of the spring compared to a new one.

A suppressor increases slide velocity. Luckily the guns will operate on very weak ammo.
Yeah, I probably need a new spring. I’m hoping to snag an extra-power one sometime, but the older-ish guide rod diameter complicates that. I’ll likely eventually grab an 80x just for the upper half.
