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.

Brownells USA Recoil springs 14/11/2016

Easy to install Wanted good spring for shooting No problems in shooting 5 different loads .Ordered 2 more springs for spares

Definitely recommended

Brownells USA 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.
