Wolff Reduced Power 1911 Magazine Catch Spring – #2
The Wolff Reduced Power 1911 Magazine Catch Spring – #2 improves the feel and responsiveness of your 1911 magazine release. First and foremost, it reduces the pressure required to drop the magazine while still maintaining secure retention. As a result, reloads feel smoother, faster, and more deliberate. If your magazine release feels stiff or inconsistent, this spring delivers a noticeable upgrade in both comfort and control.
Lighter, Smoother Magazine Release Operation
Wolff designs its reduced-power magazine catch springs to give shooters precise control over release tension. Specifically, the #2 spring provides a light-medium reduction compared to the standard factory spring. Because of this, it softens the release action without compromising proper magazine engagement.
Consequently, every magazine drop feels consistent and predictable. At the same time, the magazine remains firmly seated until you intentionally press the release. This balance improves confidence during reloads and prevents accidental magazine drops.
In addition, the reduced pressure helps minimize thumb fatigue during extended shooting sessions. Therefore, the #2 spring works especially well for competition shooting, range training, and high-round-count practice days.
Broad Compatibility Across 1911 Platforms
The Wolff Reduced Power #2 Magazine Catch Spring fits a wide range of 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 install this spring in most factory and aftermarket 1911 pistols. As a result, it becomes an easy and effective upgrade for improving magazine release feel across nearly the entire 1911 platform.
Fine-Tune Release Pressure to Your Preference
Wolff offers four magazine catch spring strengths, allowing shooters to dial in the exact release feel they want:
-
#1 – Strongest
-
#2 – Light-medium (this spring)
-
#3 – Medium-light
-
#4 – Lightest
The Reduced Power #2 spring strikes an ideal balance between ease of operation and secure retention. Therefore, it is an excellent choice for shooters who want a noticeably smoother release but still prefer a positive, controlled magazine lockup.
Moreover, by experimenting with different spring strengths, you can tailor your magazine release to your grip, hand strength, and shooting style. This adjustability makes Wolff springs especially popular with competition shooters, serious enthusiasts, and anyone focused on improved ergonomics.
Proven Wolff Durability and Consistency
Wolff manufactures every magazine catch spring from premium, fatigue-resistant spring steel. Because of this, each spring maintains its shape and tension through thousands of cycles. Consequently, you receive long-lasting performance, reliable magazine retention, and smooth, consistent release operation over time.
In short, the Wolff Reduced Power 1911 Magazine Catch Spring – #2 delivers dependable performance, improved comfort, and precise control—exactly what demanding 1911 shooters expect.
