Wolff Reduced Power 1911 Magazine Catch Spring – #1
The Wolff Reduced Power 1911 Magazine Catch Spring – #1 makes your 1911 magazine release smoother and easier to operate. First and foremost, it slightly reduces the pressure required to release the magazine. As a result, reloads feel faster, more natural, and more controlled. If your magazine release feels stiff or sluggish, this spring delivers a noticeable improvement without sacrificing reliable retention.
Lightens the Magazine Release Without Compromise
Wolff’s reduced-power magazine catch springs allow you to fine-tune how much force it takes to drop a magazine. Specifically, the #1 reduced-power spring is slightly lighter than the standard factory spring. Because of this, it softens the release action while still maintaining secure magazine engagement.
Consequently, every magazine drop feels smooth, deliberate, and predictable. At the same time, the magazine remains firmly seated until you intentionally press the release.
In addition, the lighter spring pressure helps reduce thumb fatigue during extended shooting sessions. Therefore, it works especially well for competition, training, and long range days where comfort and consistency matter most.
Fits a Wide Range of 1911 Pistols
The Reduced Power #1 spring fits many popular Colt-pattern 1911 pistols, including:
-
Colt 1911, 1911A1, and 1991
-
Government and Commander models
-
MKIV and Gold Cup
-
Delta Elite
-
Officer’s Model
-
Double Eagle MKII / Series 90
Because of this broad compatibility, you can confidently install this spring in most factory and aftermarket 1911 pistols. As a result, it becomes a simple, effective upgrade for improving magazine release feel across nearly the entire 1911 platform.
Customizable Tension for a Personalized Feel
Wolff offers four magazine catch spring strengths, allowing precise adjustment of release pressure:
-
#1 – Strongest reduced-power option (this spring)
-
#2 – Light-medium
-
#3 – Medium-light
-
#4 – Lightest
The Reduced Power #1 spring provides the mildest reduction from factory tension. Therefore, it is ideal for shooters who want a smoother release while still maintaining a firm, positive magazine lockup. It offers improved ergonomics without increasing the risk of accidental magazine drops.
Moreover, by experimenting with different spring weights, you can fine-tune your magazine release to match your grip, shooting style, and intended use. This flexibility makes Wolff springs a favorite among competitive shooters, dedicated range users, and serious 1911 enthusiasts.
Proven Wolff Durability and Quality
Wolff manufactures every magazine catch spring from premium, fatigue-resistant spring steel. Because of this, each spring maintains proper tension and shape through thousands of cycles. Therefore, you get long-term consistency, reliable magazine retention, and smooth release operation year after year.
In short, this spring delivers dependable performance you can trust, shot after shot.
