Perfect Set For FTF, FTC Etc.(09/07/2013)
I was going for the lightest, smoothest pull around, but forgot that I already had that with the Sig Sauer that I had in my hand. Going lighter weight springs did make for a dry firing dream, but that's when the problems started. Hammer didn't go all the way down. Trigger pulled way too easy. The only thing that was stiff and a pain was the recoil spring, but I would have trouble with a 2 pound one of those.
Just great spring!(27/10/2010)
Well, I purchase this spring to replace my factory 16 lb spring in my STI Troyan 45 ACP. I replace it because I shoot only factory loads 230 gr. Spring works just a perfect, recoil is weaker and double taps are fast. I use this spring with WC shock bufers and they works just great!
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.
Wolff 17.5 lb variable spring(17/02/2013)
Added a full length guide rod and a Wolff 17.5 spring to my Colt Gov Combat Special with great results.
Original is the best way to go.(13/11/2009)
I decided to take my Springfield Loaded 1911 back to a more "traditional" configuration. I scrapped the heavier spring in favor of the Browning specified 16.5 lb spring. In spite of what the "experts" say, it works just fine and I have had no problems with it at all. Wolff quality is excellent as well, and I have since ordered other Wolff springs for other guns as I know they have a reputation for excellent quality products.
Works Great!(10/03/2011)
I bought one for my Remington R1, and I couldn't be happier. It seems to take a little of the edge off the recoil, and functions perfectly with a variety of loads. Great product!
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
Very noteable improvement(06/03/2011)
I installed one of these in a S&W 1911 along with a shock buffer. I use mostly 200 gr LRNFP pushed to target velocities and was wondering if I could get less muzzle flip without battering the gun. This spring did it. I'm running two of these 14# springs in a pair of range 1911's now and love the results. p.s. Added a Wilson Accucomp to one the these 1911's and further reduced felt recoil /flip again!
