Wolff 10‑Pound Conventional 1911 Recoil Spring & Firing Pin Spring Set – Government
Tuned for Light Loads and Smooth Slide Movement
The Wolff 10‑Pound Conventional Recoil Spring & Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring Set is designed to keep Government‑size 1911 pistols running smooth, safe, and consistent—especially when shooting lighter target loads. From the first round to the last, this fixed‑rate spring set delivers controlled slide movement, reliable feeding, and dependable protection for critical components. As a result, your pistol maintains predictable performance every time you press the trigger.
Fixed‑Rate Recoil Spring for Consistent Timing
Unlike variable‑rate recoil springs, a conventional recoil spring applies the same resistance throughout the entire recoil cycle. Because of this, the slide moves at a steady and predictable speed. Consequently, timing remains consistent, wear is reduced, and overall reliability improves.
In addition, the 10‑pound spring weight is ideal for light target ammunition and reduced‑power loads. In turn, the slide cycles fully and smoothly without excessive resistance. Most importantly, the pistol functions consistently while maintaining excellent recoil control.
Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring for Added Safety
Wolff pairs the recoil spring with an extra‑power firing pin spring to enhance safety. This stronger firing pin spring limits unwanted forward movement during recoil or impact. As a result, it helps reduce the risk of inertial discharge while still allowing reliable primer ignition.
Together, both springs function as a matched system. Therefore, you gain improved control, added safety, and long‑term reliability without compromising performance.
Why Choose a Conventional 1911 Recoil Spring?
When reliability and repeatability matter most, a fixed‑rate recoil spring remains a proven solution. For example, it offers:
Predictable Slide Speed
Constant spring tension ensures uniform slide movement through the entire cycle.
Consistent Feeding and Lockup
Steady resistance supports reliable chambering and repeatable lockup, even with lighter loads.
Reduced Frame and Slide Impact
Controlled slide velocity helps minimize battering and long‑term wear.
Simple, Repeatable Tuning
Because resistance never changes, selecting the correct spring weight is straightforward and dependable.
As a result, recoil feels smoother, sights return to target faster, and your 1911 behaves the same way shot after shot.
