Product Information

Recoil springs fit over your handgun's guide rod and control how the slide functions. In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. A spring that is too light can cause the handgun to open and close early and hard, increasing the felt recoil and battering the frame. A spring that is too heavy can cause the slide to be hard to open and could even keep the gun from cycling completely, jamming it. Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the slide.

Technical Information

Fits:
  • Colt 1911 length pistols and clones, including models from Para Ordnance, Kimber and Springfield Armory. These pistols all have 5" long slides.
    Notes:
  • Factory 1911 recoil springs are 16 pounds in 45 ACP, 14 pounds in 38 Super, 9mm Luger, 38 Special Midrange, Colt Ace 22 conversion kit, and 19 pounds in 40 S&W.
  • Factory 1911 Officers springs are 22 lbs
  • Factory 1911 Commanders springs are 18 lbs
  • The Delta Elite 10mm uses a dual factory spring rated at 23 pounds. Single recoil springs require that the Delta Elite recoil spring guide be replaced with a standard 45 ACP recoil spring guide.
  • Recoil springs fit over a pistol's guide rod and control how the pistol's slide functions.
  • In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. There is no hard and fast rule as to how much "Spring" a pistol needs. Too light a spring and the pistol opens and closes early and hard, increasing the felt recoil and battering the frame. Too heavy a spring and the slide is hard to open and may not cycle completely, jamming the pistol.
  • Shooters who are using +P ammunition or self defense ammunition will likely need heavier recoil springs.
  • Shooters who are using target ammunition may be able to use lighter recoil springs.
  • Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the pistol.
  • Every recoil spring package contains a free extra power firing pin spring.
