FAQ:
- Is the flat wire spring compatible with a full length guide rod? Yes-Only with the full length flat wire guide rod (#25GRFW). The inner diameter of the flat wire spring is smaller than a conventional round wire spring requiring a flat wire specific guide rod.
- Is a Shok Buff required? A Shok-Buff is included but optional on the 5” flatwire guide rod. It is not recommended for use on the 4” kit since it can reduce slide travel.
- Can I shoot +P ammunition with this kit? Yes-since flat wire springs don’t lose their length over time like round wire springs they cushion your frame more effectively over time. Flat wire springs also compress in a more linear fashion which makes them more tolerant of a wider variety of loads and grips.

Flatwire Spring Guide Rod
Love this guide rod. Has a small shoulder at the base for the shok buff to snap on to to hold it in place. Little things like that make a huge difference. Nice to know that the dedicated people at WC really study hard to r and d the best parts in the business!

Best Upgrade Ever
I recently purchased a pair of previously owned Kimbers, a Pro Carry II and a Custom II. Not knowing the round count, I always replace recoil springs, so replacing them with a spring that doesnt have to be replaced once every couple months was a big plus. The Pro Carry is wonderful to shoot with the Flat wire recoil system, smooth and comfortable. The Custom II got its Flat wire setup installed tonight with a WC Flat trigger. What a winning combination, it will see some range time this weekend, and as with anything from WC, I expect it will be perfect. Thanks Wilson Combat!

Ruger Sr1911
I installed this flat wire spring and buffer in my SR1911 and it works great. From standard 230 FMJ to high power HP it felt smooth with less felt recoil with the buffer than the stock spring. Simple to install and a great value.

Love It!
The use of the flat wire recoil spring is a move forward. The rating is miss-leading as recoil springs are normally calibrated at near full compression. The flat wire recoil spring being sold for the 1911 are actually made for the Glock 17, an sold for full size GM, etc. Nothing really wrong with that, but the 17# flat wire recoil spring actually reads 14# @ 1.625, and 7# @ 3.6875. A good rate for a wide range of ammo. What is specific to the 1911 is the availability of a usable .250 guide rod, and plugs for the flat wire recoil spring.

Great Kit!
I installed this kit in my Colt Rail Gun, and it made a noticeable difference in recoil, as well as delivering a much smoother feel when cycling the action. I wish they would make this kit in different spring weights! Keep up the great work!

Amazing Life Of Flat Recoil Spring - Ria M1911-A1 5In
Originally purchased (2014) the compact flat wire kit (22lb) for a RIA M1911-A1 3.5in. Working perfectly all these years. Purchased (8/2020) this new 17lb kit for a RIA M1911-A1 5in, also (what I say) running like a 💋hooker at a 🙏🏼baptist revival. Expect years of constant quality, highly recommended.
