The Wilson Combat Recoil Spring (Wilson Combat part no. 10G18) is an 18 lb spring built for 5-inch, full-size Government-pattern 1911 handguns chambered in 10mm or .45 ACP. Wilson Combat engineers it to reduce frame-to-slide impact as the gun cycles, which both smooths out the felt recoil impulse and cuts down on wear at the frame rails over time. Like any recoil spring, it has a service life; Wilson Combat rates this one for an average of about 2,000 rounds before it should be replaced to keep the gun running and shooting at its best.
