Wolff 16‑Pound Conventional 1911 Recoil Spring & Firing Pin Spring Set – Commander
Consistent Control, Added Safety, and Proven Reliability
Keep your Commander‑size 1911 running smooth, safe, and dependable with the Wolff 16 lb Conventional Recoil Spring & Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring Set. From the first round to the last magazine, this matched spring set delivers steady slide control, clean feeding, and dependable frame protection. As a result, your pistol maintains consistent performance even under regular use.
Moreover, because Wolff designs these springs to work together, you gain balanced recoil control and enhanced safety in a single, straightforward upgrade.
Conventional Recoil Spring Performance
Fixed‑Rate Design for Predictable Slide Timing
Unlike variable‑rate springs, a conventional recoil spring applies the same amount of force throughout the entire slide cycle. Because of this constant pressure, the slide moves at a steady and predictable speed. Consequently, timing remains consistent and unnecessary wear is reduced.
In turn, this predictable movement allows your pistol to feed, extract, and lock up the same way every time you press the trigger. Therefore, recoil feels more controlled, sight recovery improves, and long‑term reliability stays high.
Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring for Enhanced Safety
Reduced Inertial Movement and Greater Confidence
At the same time, Wolff includes an extra‑power firing pin spring to improve 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 maintaining reliable ignition.
Because each Wolff recoil spring set for 1911 pistols includes this extra‑power firing pin spring, you receive a complete system designed to enhance both control and safety.
Why Choose a 16‑Pound Recoil Spring?
Balanced Performance for Commander‑Length Pistols
When paired with standard or slightly heavier ammunition, a 16 lb recoil spring provides excellent balance between slide control and reliable function. For example, it offers:
-
Predictable slide speed
-
Consistent feeding and lockup
-
Reliable function with standard ammunition
-
Reduced frame and slide impact
-
Easy tuning thanks to steady spring pressure
Since the spring tension never changes, your pistol reacts the same way with every shot. Because of that consistency, recoil feels smoother and follow‑up shots become faster and more controllable.
