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 Officers models with 3-1/2" length slides and standard Colt factory guide rod.
  • Will not fit 1911 models that have a full diameter (.330") guide rod. Use pn 224-452 for those applications.
  • Springfield, Kimber, Para-Ordnance 3-1/2" slide models generally have the .330" guide rod.
    Notes:
  • Factory Colt 1911 Officers model recoil springs are 22 pounds.
  • 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 reoil 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's slide.
