Default Re: Recoil Spring

The factory spring is 16 # on a full sized 1911. Are you planning on shooting some target ammo ? If not, get that spring out of there as you will hammer the frame pretty good and cause a possible timing problem.

If you feel the spring needs to be replaced, Wolff has a 16 # varible power spring that will work very well.
