Wolff Recoil Calibration Pak – Extra Power (XP) Conventional – 1911
Heavy‑Load Recoil Tuning Made Simple
The Wolff Recoil Calibration Pak – Extra Power Conventional provides a straightforward and effective way to fine‑tune your 1911 for heavy, high‑velocity ammunition. Rather than guessing which recoil spring might work best, this complete kit includes the most commonly used heavier spring weights in one convenient package. As a result, you can precisely control slide speed, improve overall reliability, and protect your frame—all while saving time and money.
Moreover, this calibration pak eliminates unnecessary trial and error. Instead of purchasing springs one at a time, you can efficiently test multiple weights until you find the ideal setup. Even better, the kit offers approximately 20% savings compared to buying each spring individually. In short, it delivers a smarter and more cost‑effective approach to recoil tuning.
What’s Included
This Extra Power Conventional Recoil Calibration Pak includes five recoil springs and three extra‑power firing pin springs:
-
16 lb factory‑standard conventional recoil spring
-
18.5 lb extra‑power conventional recoil spring
-
20 lb extra‑power conventional recoil spring
-
22 lb extra‑power conventional recoil spring
-
24 lb extra‑power conventional recoil spring
-
Three extra‑power firing pin springs
Together, these components cover the most common recoil‑tuning requirements for 1911 pistols running heavier or faster ammunition. Consequently, you gain the flexibility to tune your pistol precisely to your load.
Why Use a Recoil Calibration Pak?
Determining the correct recoil spring weight can be challenging, especially when shooting hotter loads. Therefore, Wolff designed this calibration pak to remove the guesswork entirely and make tuning both simple and repeatable.
The process itself is straightforward. First, install the strongest recoil spring in the kit. Next, test‑fire your pistol using your chosen ammunition. Then, step down one spring weight at a time until the pistol cycles smoothly and predictably.
Because of this methodical approach, you avoid wasting money on incorrect springs. More importantly, you achieve a pistol that cycles cleanly, tracks flatter during recoil, and remains reliable shot after shot.
