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.

Face Lift For An 80S Vintage Colt Govt. Series 70
Went to the 17# flat wound recoil spring with shock buffer and .250 guide rod. Also added the bushing compensator and had to shorten the recoil plug to 1.2 with a grinding wheel on my dremel tool.

Perfect Setup
I got this a couple months ago to try out, Its nice to drop it in and forget about it. Instead of worring about how many rounds are down range on the standard spring Ill just change this one out once a year. That should save me about 6 standard springs a year.

It Works.
After seeing flatwire springs on most modern pistols, I decided to see if it works for a 1911. I am running it in a S&W 1911 and shot some +P. It worked very well at moderating slide velocity and I feel it is worth the money to try it yourself. Wilson gets 5 stars for making one for the 1911.

Good And Easy
The name Wilson Combat is a name you can trust. So easy to install, take the old spring out put the new spring in - done in 1 min. and it works great.

Dont Hesitate
Thanks for doing the research to fix a problem with all 4 1911s! My pro carry II hasnt functioned properly since the date of purchase. Glad Wilson stepped up to the plate with R&D to fix the mistake of others.
