Variable rate springs function correctly with a wider range of loads than fixed rate springs can. Rate increases as spring is compressed; gives greater protection against frame battering, more consistent lockup and improved feeding, while allowing easier manual cycling of the action. Recoil Calibration Pak contains 1 each of seven different springs; 16½ lb., 15 lb., 14 lb., 13 lb., 11 lb., 10 lb. and 9 lb., plus three extra power firing pin springs. Individual Spring Pak contains one variable power recoil spring and one extra power firing pin spring. Factory weight is 16 lb.

Good replacement part 01/11/2013

This is one of the first upgrades I buy for a government model 1911. I ditch the factory spring and opt for the 18.5 lb. recoil spring to shoot FMJ 230 loads.
