Other than counting total rounds fired, what are the indicators the recoil spring is worn out and needs to be replaced?
Issues going back into battery. Feeling the slide ābottom outā when firing. The latter can also happen when buying some of the new brands of Turkish ammo out there as of late 
. Stuff makes my NATO stash seem anemic

First indicator is when your casing is ejected more than 6 feet away from you.
It is just a basic rule. Observe the ejected casing with new recoil spring to see what is the standard distance. When the recoil spring becomes weak the distance of ejection is way longer than usual.

Thatās a Glock thing, mostly. Starting with Gen4. Or right between the eyes.

Ejection different than 3 oāclock - 5 oāclock shows an extractor problemsā¦ in most casesā¦
Glock usually is excluded from any diagnostic patterns.

What is the case about?

I know sausage meat and spices are packed in casings, but the correct term for the, typically metal, object that houses the primer, propellant, and holds the bullet, is case. It is basic firearm knowledge, yet you pose this ignorant question?
Do you know that this metal part can be called ācaseā, ācasingā or āshellā?
Looks I had 1/3 chances to make you happy and Iām sorry to disappoint youā¦

Incorrectly, you can call it whatever you want. In a pistol, which is what I referenced, as that is what is being discussed, the correct term is case. From the article I linked to it clearly states ā[c]ases (rifle and handgun)ā. Now, back to the topic of the thread. I mistakenly thought you could learn, but I keep forgetting you know everything already.
I was unaware of your adulation of meā¦ but no thanks
Now you knowā¦ 
You are very interesting person to me, since May 2nd, when you wrote very insulting post. 
And youāre very welcome.
