Wolff 16‑Pound Conventional 1911 Recoil Spring & Firing Pin Spring Set – Government
Consistent Control and Reliability for Government‑Length 1911 Pistols
Keep your Government‑size 1911 running smooth, safe, and dependable with the Wolff 16 lb Conventional Recoil Spring & Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring Set. Designed for shooters who want predictable slide movement and proven reliability, this fixed‑rate spring set delivers steady cycling, clean feeding, and dependable frame protection. As a result, your pistol performs consistently from the first shot to the last.
Just as importantly, Wolff engineers these springs to work together. Therefore, you gain improved safety, controlled recoil, and long service life in one trusted upgrade.
Conventional Recoil Spring Design
Fixed‑Rate Pressure for Stable Slide Timing
Unlike variable‑rate springs, a conventional recoil spring applies the same resistance throughout the entire slide cycle. Because of this constant force, the slide moves at a steady speed. Consequently, timing remains consistent while unnecessary wear stays low.
In turn, your Government‑length 1911 feeds, extracts, and locks up smoothly with every shot. Because timing stays predictable, recoil feels more controlled and overall reliability improves.
Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring
Added Safety with No Compromise
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 16‑Pound Recoil Spring?
Balanced Performance for Standard Loads
When you want reliable function with standard‑pressure ammunition, a 16 lb recoil spring provides an excellent balance. For example, it delivers:
-
Predictable slide speed
-
Consistent feeding and lockup
-
Reliable function with standard ammunition
-
Reduced slide and frame impact
-
Simple tuning with steady spring pressure
Since the spring rate never changes, your pistol reacts the same way with every shot. Because of that, recoil feels smoother. In addition, your sights return to target faster. Most importantly, your 1911 stays dependable.
