So been looking for some original or replacement mag springs for a Star Super B. Is there by chance any 1911 9mm springs out there that could be a good substitution?

Here is some photos of the springs that are original to the pistol I purchased but are to weak to reliably feed any rounds.

1911 springs will be too wide, do not know about length. Buy some triple k mags and remove the springs for your original mag bodies , you keep the look but have new parts. What makes you yhink the springs need replacing? Are they causing malfunctions? Too many springs are replaced that have a lot of life left in them.

Awesome I did not know anything about the Triple K mags and it looks like they produce them still for the Super B.

As for the mag spring question, yes they are showing to be very weak. After about 5 rounds loaded the springs do not have enough tension to keep the rounds tight towards the feed lips and there is also some round tilting and the slide just goes right over them so its definitely time to replace those mag springs.
