Notes - Recoil Springs

Some Recoil Spring Info.

Product Information

Recoil springs fit over your handgun's guide rod and control how the slide functions.
In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs.
A spring that is too light can cause the handgun to open and close early and hard, increasing the felt recoil and battering the frame.
A spring that is too heavy can cause the slide to be hard to open and could even keep the gun from cycling completely, jamming it.
Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the slide.

Recoil springs for Colt 1911 series pistols are available in both conventional and variable power designs. Please refer to our FAQ section for information on conventional vs. variable design. Each Wolff recoil spring for Colt pistols includes an extra power firing pin spring. Recoil Calibration Paks are available offering a range of spring weights to tune your pistols recoil function. All springs are produced from Wolff proprietary HTCS spring material except as noted.

The 3 most popular 1911 recoil springs are also available in chrome silicone material. While chrome silicone is an excellent material, it is a softer material and does not offer the tensile strength of our proprietary HTCS spring material (the material from which most of our springs are produced from). We now offer these spings due do customer requests.
