Wilson Combat 614 Flat-Wire Recoil Spring Kit
This is a purpose-built recoil spring system designed for the serious .45 ACP shooter who demands reliability and longevity from their equipment.
What You Get
- 17-pound flat-wire recoil spring
- Recoil spring guide with .250" rod diameter
- Compatible with standard recoil spring plugs and Shok-Buff recoil buffers
Performance Specifications
The 17-pound spring rate is engineered specifically for full-size 5-inch .45 ACP pistols firing:
- 230-grain hardball ammunition
- Standard-pressure jacketed hollow-point self-defense rounds
- Ammunition with a power factor between 175,000 and 195,000 (velocity × bullet weight)
Why This Matters
Wilson Combat's flat-wire design improves cycling consistency and overall pistol operation compared to conventional coil springs. The flat-wire geometry distributes force more evenly, reducing wear on the spring itself. You can expect approximately 40,000 rounds of service life before replacement becomes necessary—a significant advantage over standard springs.
This is the kind of upgrade that separates a well-maintained defensive or competition pistol from one that's merely functional.
