Any issues with Ruger Lightweight Commander in 9mm?

I really like mine but it recently started having issues returning to battery completely. I read where Ed Head at Gunsite had the same issues and they went away with a Commander 18# spring. I ordered one so we'll see how that does.

Great gun and it's amazingly accurate. I have about 1000 rounds through mine so far. I do prefer the Brownell mags to the factory mags.

Here's Ed's review...

Has anyone tried the Gunsite low mount safety....

mentioned by Ed in the review I referenced? Currently backordered at Brownells. Looks interesting.

When I changed my full size stainless Kimber 38 super to 9mm,I ended up with an 18# spring for full power loads.
I have not tried a Gunsite low safety but years ago tried a low safety by, I think, Swenson. It worked well and still have it "somewhere".

My Ruger LW CMD 9mm had the same problem (failure to return to battery). 18 Lb recoil spring solved the problem so far.
