Description
The Wolff Recoil Spring / Firing Pin Spring Kit is a conventional (constant-rate) recoil spring for Colt 1911 Government pattern pistols and 2011-style double-stack pistols that use a Government-length recoil spring. Each pack from Wolff Gunsprings (W.C. Wolff Company, USA) includes an extra-power firing pin spring, and 3 Gun Tactical offers it in reduced-power weights from 6 lb to 14 lb for shooters running light loads.
Wolff lists 16 lb as the factory standard rating for a .45 ACP Government Model and 14 lb for 9mm and .38 Super, so the lighter weights in this kit are reduced-power options used to tune slide velocity for softer-shooting minor power factor loads in IPSC, USPSA and steel competition. Wolff produces its springs from its proprietary HTCS spring material and recommends fitting the matching extra-power firing pin spring whenever a reduced-power recoil spring is installed. Select the weight that cycles your ammunition reliably; recoil springs are a wear item and are easy to swap during routine maintenance.

FAQ
Which weight should I choose? Wolff rates the factory standard Government Model spring at 16 lb (.45 ACP) and 14 lb (9mm / .38 Super). Lighter weights such as 8-11 lb are commonly used with soft minor power factor loads; pick the heaviest spring that still cycles your ammunition reliably.
Is a firing pin spring included? Yes. Wolff supplies an extra-power firing pin spring with each of these recoil springs, which should be fitted when running a reduced-power recoil spring.
Will it fit a 2011? It suits 2011-pattern double-stack pistols that use a standard Government-length (5 inch) recoil spring; check your guide rod and spring plug before ordering.
