You should check extractor tension with a loaded round not an empty case.
There's a big difference in weight.

I've never seen a recoil spring assembly like that.

that's a RecoilMaster, but other companies use a similar setup for their 4" and smaller guns.

The RM reduces the feel of recoil and as a result, the slide seems to cycle a little slower.
