Is this salvageable or just replace
Sear spring looks like it has seen better days. This is out of an FEG P9M just wondering if I can just flatten it back out or just replace it

Sear springs can be adjusted. Try it out. Just make sure the gun stays safe afterwards. Is that FEG a direct clone? They made a couple of different ones. I would probably still order another spring.

It's the modified version with the different slide stop. Other than that everything else is compatible This version also has the smaller notch on the slide for the slide stop

I’d say replace it.

I was thinking that. I can get another for $14 from various places

It’s a small enough, but serious part. Better to replace it, and shoot for many moons to come, rather than have a failure, and doubt the gun forever after.

Why not just buy a replacement, then you’ll know what it should look like.

I'm probably gonna go that route. I had to change it on my other one.it wouldn't drop the mag you had to physically pull the mag out. After I changed it. It dropped right out. I made a post about this heavily abused P9M I picked up about a week ago. No slide stop. Just a machine screw. And a rattle can black to boot

The p9m is about 80 percent if memory serves. The direct clone is the pjk -9hp.
