My new SAR9 only takes 124 grain is this normal? What is the reason

Took my K2 out to play today and still am floored with the gun. What an absolutely awesome shooter. I have had at least 7 different .45's over the years and this may be my favorite for ease of shooting.

However .. that recoil spring is not to task. If I load a mag and the slingshot to release the slide and drive a round into the chamber it can barely load the round. It creeps in.

Seems to shoot alright even though I had 2 today fail to fully chamber and need a tap to get seated.

Has anyone changed the recoil spring? what did you get and where did you get it? Does anyone know what weight the original is so maybe I can dig through my bag of recoil springs past and see if I have anything I can try.

Damn near perfect gun but that spring is way to soft for that gun if it has trouble stripping and chambering a round when you sling shot the slide.

Certainly could just need a little more break in to seat the rails but ??

So I’ve been back and forth on buying an optic for my SAR9X, seen multiple different options and have some in wishlists for myself. How much of a difference does it make for your shooting? I’m an okay shot using iron sights definitely have improved from the beginning till now obviously room for improvement however I’m not sure if an optic would even be good for me. Love the idea of having one hate the idea of buying one and I end up not liking it at all. If you can give any suggestions or feedback on this I would appreciate it
