Would somebody be so kind as to count the number of coils on a 5 rd. PM45 magazine spring or post a photo of the spring and follower? It would be greatly appreciated.

- To clarify, the number of coils as counted from the rear of the spring if it was properly oriented in the magazine.

Regards,
Greg

Mine has 14 including the half one at the bottom. Counting each loop on the back of the spring as you describe totals 14. Sorry I dont have a camera here at work.

Here are the 5-shot flush and the 6-shot Extended Grip for the PM45 for comparison. They seem to have the same coil count.

Added: I forgot the followers, but they all look alike.

Wyn,
Thank you so much for the photos and the effort put into it.
FWIW, the 7 round .45 magazine has the same coil count magazine spring; more to follow.
