Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 20 lb rating mean? It’s the spring’s rated weight, which determines how much resistance the slide feels during recoil; Wilson Combat also sells this spring in 15 lb and 24 lb ratings.

What’s the benefit of a flat wire recoil spring? Flat wire springs are commonly chosen for more consistent spring rates and longer service life compared to round-wire coil springs.

Does this fit a Commander-length 1911? This listing is sized for the 5-inch Government frame; a shorter Commander-length 1911 needs a different spring length.
