Slightly recommend

Brownells USA Good idea... but... 05/09/2016

Good idea !

Easy to use and to determine the length to be measure for each pistol.

I checked different kind of recoil springs and systematically had a difference of approximately two to three pounds (less) when compared with supposedly Wolff calibrated springs or manufacture calibrated springs.

I´ll check (and/or change) the scale.

Definitely recommended

Brownells USA Simple and works well 27/10/2015

I tested all my 1911 recoil springs, including spares, and all of the springs for my friend's 1911s in about two hours, including disassembly and reassembly.

Easy to use, repeatable, and you can read spring compression within a tenth of a pound.

I would recommend this product for its intended use ... Government-length recoil springs.
