PPS Classic and a strange spring

I had a PPS Classic back before the M2 came out. I had one in 9mm and a 40. For whatever reason, I let them both go. Today I found a nice 9mm on consignment sale at the local shop today and brought it home. It came with 2 8rd mags, 2 backstraps, paperwork and case. It's a 2011 model, according to the spent shell envelope. It has Smith and Wesson stamped on the slide and the paddle mag release.
I had almost forgotten how good these feel in the hand. The easy, Glock-like take down, good sights and easy to rack slide. I got this for $350, OTD.
One question, I included a picture of a spring that was in the case with the other accessories. I put it by the RSA to get a good feel for the size. I have no idea why this spring was in the box. The guys at the gun shop didn't either. One guy thought it was for shooting +P+++ammo.
Anyone have any better ideas?

I don't think that spring is for a PPS. The seller probably had it floating around in a drawer, didn't know what it was for and tossed in the box.

That's what most of us at the store thought too. it just seemed like an odd thing to leave in the box.
Thanks.
I wonder if it was a spring for a reduced recoil system. But the rest of it is missing. Maybe from DPM?
