Wolff 12‑Pound Conventional 1911 Recoil Spring & Firing Pin Spring Set – Commander
Smooth, Controlled Cycling for Light‑Load Commander Pistols
Keep your Commander‑size 1911 running smooth, safe, and reliable with the Wolff 12 lb Conventional Recoil Spring & Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring Set. From the very first shot to the last, this fixed‑rate spring set delivers controlled slide movement, clean feeding, and dependable protection for your frame and internal components. As a result, your pistol maintains consistent performance when using lighter or standard‑pressure ammunition.
Moreover, because Wolff designs these springs to work together, you gain predictable function and added safety in one simple, proven upgrade.
Conventional Recoil Spring Design
Fixed‑Rate Pressure for Consistent Timing
Unlike variable‑rate recoil springs, a conventional recoil spring applies the same resistance throughout the entire slide cycle. Because of this constant pressure, the slide travels at a steady, repeatable speed. Consequently, timing remains consistent and unnecessary wear is reduced.
In turn, your Commander‑length 1911 feeds, extracts, and returns to battery the same way every time. Therefore, recoil feels smoother, cycling stays predictable, and long‑term reliability improves—especially with lighter loads.
Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring
Added Safety with Every Shot
At the same time, Wolff includes an extra‑power firing pin spring to enhance overall safety. This stronger spring limits unwanted firing pin movement during recoil or impact. As a result, it helps reduce the risk of inertial discharge while still allowing reliable ignition.
Because both springs function as a matched system, you benefit from improved safety, controlled slide motion, and dependable operation shot after shot.
Why Choose a 12‑Pound Recoil Spring?
Ideal for Lighter Loads and Softer Cycling
When running lighter ammunition or tuning for reduced recoil, a 12 lb recoil spring offers important advantages. For example, it provides:
-
Predictable slide speed
-
Consistent feeding and lockup
-
Reliable function with light or standard‑pressure ammo
-
Reduced slide and frame impact
-
Easy tuning with steady, non‑variable spring pressure
Since the spring rate never changes, your pistol reacts the same way with every round. Because of that, recoil feels softer. In addition, sight recovery improves. Most importantly, your 1911 remains dependable and easy to control.
