Wolff 20‑Pound Conventional 1911 Recoil Spring & Firing Pin Spring Set – Government
Maximum Control, Enhanced Safety, and Proven Government‑Length Reliability
Keep your Government‑size 1911 running smooth, safe, and consistent with the Wolff 20 lb Conventional Recoil Spring & Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring Set. From the first round to the last, this fixed‑rate spring set delivers firm slide control, clean feeding, and dependable frame protection. As a result, your pistol maintains predictable performance even under heavier recoil forces.
Moreover, because Wolff engineers these springs as a matched system, you gain improved control and added safety in one straightforward upgrade.
Conventional Recoil Spring Design
Fixed‑Rate Pressure for Stable Slide Timing
Unlike variable‑rate recoil springs, a conventional 1911 recoil spring applies the same resistance throughout the entire operating cycle. Because of this constant force, the slide travels at a steady speed. Consequently, timing remains consistent and unnecessary wear is reduced.
In turn, your Government‑length 1911 feeds, extracts, and locks up the same way with every shot. Therefore, recoil impulse feels more controlled, cycling becomes more predictable, and long‑term reliability improves.
Extra‑Power Firing Pin Spring
Added Safety Without Sacrificing Reliability
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 lower the risk of inertial discharge while still maintaining positive and reliable ignition.
Because both springs work together as a balanced system, you benefit from improved safety, consistent slide control, and dependable function shot after shot.
Why Choose a 20‑Pound Recoil Spring?
Built for Heavier Loads and Firm Slide Control
When running hotter loads, duty ammunition, or pistols that need increased resistance, a 20 lb recoil spring offers added control. For example, it provides:
-
Predictable slide speed
-
Consistent feeding and positive lockup
-
Reliable function with higher‑energy ammunition
-
Reduced frame and slide impact
-
Easy tuning with steady, non‑variable spring pressure
Since the tension never changes, your pistol responds the same way every time. Because of that consistency, recoil feels more manageable. In addition, sight recovery improves. Most importantly, your 1911 remains dependable under demanding conditions.
