I picked up my DB45 from the LGS and have had fun getting familiar with it. Since it's brand new, does it make sense to replace the recoil spring and any others?

If you are shooting standard 45 ACP ammunition, there is no reason to change anything.

if you are going to tune it to the load you shoot sure, if you are just changing springs because you heard people on the internet say it , no.

I had a handful of new Wilson springs in my box. I put one in my Tisas when new. No issues.

I typically use a 15lb recoil spring in a .45 to get the sights to track where I want them. If there is any reason to change springs, that is it.
15 recoil, 19 mainspring, Adjust the leaf spring. |

The only spring I’ve changed on my 4 Tisas’ is the safety plunger spring. They always seem a little weak out of the box. Definitely a more positive “click” to them with a replacement spring. I use Wolff.

As an owner of three Tisas 1911s, I agree with these guys, though this should go for any new 1911. Any new gun actually.
At bare minimum, put a few boxes of different factory ammo through it before changing anything. Especially if this is your first 1911. The 1911 is not a Glock or an M&P. or an AR. It's a lot easier to jack something up. Chances are it will run like it is and once you get a feel for it, then maybe some upgrades will make more sense. OR...  ... you can do whatever you want, because it's yours.

BTW, if you simply cannot resist the urge to take it down to the frame (believe me I get it) take the thumb safety outta the frame first and put it back in last. If you disengage the sear spring from the sear before you have the thumb safety out you'll wind up in a Chinese torture puzzle. Of course I've only ever read about this. I'd never do something so silly myself.
