Wolff 13‑Pound Conventional 1911 Recoil Spring & Firing Pin Spring Set – Commander
Balanced Slide Control for Everyday Commander Performance
Keep your Commander‑size 1911 running smooth, controlled, and reliable with the Wolff 13 lb Conventional Recoil Spring & Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring Set. Designed for shooters who want predictable cycling with standard‑pressure ammunition, this fixed‑rate spring set delivers consistent slide movement, clean feeding, and dependable frame protection. As a result, your pistol performs the same way from the first round to the last.
Just as important, Wolff engineers these springs to work together. Therefore, you gain improved control, added safety, and long‑term reliability in one 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 moves at a steady, predictable speed. Consequently, timing remains consistent and unnecessary wear is reduced.
In turn, your Commander‑length 1911 feeds, extracts, and returns to battery smoothly with every shot. Therefore, recoil feels controlled, sight recovery improves, and overall reliability increases—especially with standard‑pressure loads.
Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring
Increased Safety Without Compromising Ignition
At the same time, Wolff includes an extra‑power firing pin spring to enhance 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 maintaining reliable ignition.
Because both springs function as a matched system, they work together to improve safety, slide control, and long‑term durability.
Why Choose a 13‑Pound Recoil Spring?
Ideal Balance for Standard‑Pressure Ammunition
When you want smooth cycling without over‑driving the slide, a 13 lb recoil spring offers an excellent balance. For example, it provides:
-
Predictable slide speed
-
Consistent feeding and lockup
-
Reliable function with standard ammunition
-
Reduced slide and frame impact
-
Easy tuning with steady, fixed spring pressure
Since the spring rate never changes, your pistol reacts the same way with every round. Because of that, recoil feels smoother. In addition, sights return to target faster. Most importantly, your 1911 stays dependable.
