Very true, but I prefer the little rubber washer looking shock buffers. I won't have one in any gun I'm carrying, because they do eventually break, but for range sessions they can mitigate battering a bit.
The problem with the heavy recoil spring is that it works both ways. We are told to never release the slide on an empty chamber, but rather to hold onto it and let it return to battery under some control. The heavy recoil spring mimics the effect of just snicking the slide release on an empty chamber.
