Wilson Combat 16 lb recoil spring for full-size 1911 pistols. Reduces slide and frame wear while maintaining reliable cycling. Average service life of 20,000 rounds.
Fits: 1911
A quality recoil spring is one of the most overlooked maintenance items in any 1911 pistol. Wilson Combat's 16 lb recoil spring is engineered to manage the forces generated by full-power loads while protecting your pistol's slide and frame from excessive wear.
Over time, recoil springs lose their temper and fail to properly manage the violent cycling of your pistol. A worn spring allows excessive battering of internal parts, leading to premature wear and potential reliability issues. Regular replacement keeps your 1911 running smoothly and extends the life of critical components.
Wilson Combat recommends inspecting your recoil spring regularly and replacing it every 20,000 rounds or annually, whichever comes first. This simple maintenance task will keep your 1911 running reliably for years to come.
