ISMI 15 lb 1911 Government Recoil Spring
Smooth, Consistent Cycling for Government‑Length 1911 Pistols
First and foremost, the ISMI 15 lb 1911 Government Recoil Spring keeps your pistol cycling smoothly and reliably. By controlling slide speed more precisely, it promotes clean feeding, consistent lockup, and predictable operation. As a result, your 1911 performs the same way every time—whether you’re training at the range, carrying daily, or competing.
Moreover, this 15 lb spring works exceptionally well with standard and lighter‑powered ammunition. Consequently, it helps maintain proper timing without excessive slide velocity or unnecessary frame stress.
Precision Manufacturing Built to Aerospace Standards
To ensure consistent performance, ISMI manufactures every recoil spring in the USA using advanced CAD design and aerospace‑level production standards. Because of this precision, each spring delivers uniform tension and repeatable results. Therefore, you can trust your 1911 to run smoothly, round after round, without surprises.
ISMI Recoil Springs – Strength You Can Rely On
Premium Chrome Silicon Wire Construction
ISMI uses Chrome Silicon wire to maximize durability and service life. In addition, each spring undergoes multiple strengthening processes:
-
Heat treated to increase overall strength
-
Shot peened to reduce surface stress and fatigue
-
Fully stress relieved to prevent permanent set
Together, these steps stabilize spring tension and significantly reduce wear on both the slide and frame. As a result, your pistol cycles smoothly while maintaining long‑term reliability.
Why Upgrade to an ISMI 15 lb Recoil Spring?
Over time, factory recoil springs lose tension. When that happens, slide speed becomes inconsistent, feeding reliability suffers, and frame battering can increase. Fortunately, ISMI recoil springs eliminate these problems.
Specifically, the 15 lb spring offers smoother slide movement and better timing, especially when shooting standard or reduced‑power loads. At the same time, it keeps recoil impulse predictable and controlled, improving overall shootability.
