Pardini HP recoil spring weight? Anyone sell extra power springs?

Anyone know the weight of a stock Pardini HP (.32acp) recoil spring?  Also, does anyone know if anyone makes extra power recoil springs?

I'm considering either buying some or possibly having some made, but I'd need a starting point.

I’m curious as to why?

Seems the Pardini shoots tends to shoot .32acp more accurately with hotter loads (at least with the 60gr XTPs).  Even the Hornady and Fiocchi factory loads using this bullet are pretty hot, so I figured it'd be better to have some stronger recoil springs to help prevent damage to the frame and to keep from getting brass kicked into the next county.

When shooting my reloads using the Hornady 60 XTP (using the same powder and charge weight that carykiteboarder has published several times), I would classify the recoil as mild on a bad day.  As far as kicking brass into the next county, I am lucky if it gets kicked into the brass catcher.

Right now, I've got a ton of factory ammo and I don't have the luxury of reloading.  Besides, I like the idea of having the ability to swap recoil springs as appropriate for the load.

Regardless, anyone know the strength of the stock one?  I'm guessing no one makes alternative ones right now, so I'll probably be having some custom ones made.

A new-in-package HP spring is 120mm long.

Where can you have a handful (i.e. less than hundreds) of custom springs made for a reasonable price?

 Have there been reported issues of problems? As sensitive as my Pardini is to the magazine springs ( 32l v. 32acp v. 22) I would worry about changing recoil springs, unless there is an issue with factory loads.
