Wolff Gunsprings 1911 Government 16 lb Recoil Spring

A 16 lb Wolff recoil spring for full size 1911 Government Model pistols. Wolff groups its 1911 springs by load: this one is a Type B standard weight spring, meant for hardball loads.

Sixteen pounds is the stock recoil spring weight Wolff lists for a 45 ACP Government Model, so this is the spring to use when you simply want to restore the pistol to its original setup. If brass flies past 6 to 8 feet with your ammunition, Wolff says a heavier spring is called for.
