Wolff Gunsprings 1911 Government 24 lb Recoil Spring

A 24 lb Wolff recoil spring for full size 1911 Government Model pistols. Wolff groups its 1911 springs by load: this one is a Type C extra power spring, meant for hardball and heavier loads.

At 24 lb this is one of the heaviest springs Wolff lists for the Government Model, for shooters who want the slide held shut as long as possible with stout ammunition. Wolff's rule of thumb: if brass lands past 6 to 8 feet, go heavier; under 3 feet, go lighter.
