- .45 ACP
- Full Size
- Contains: 18.5lb recoil spring, 2 shok-buffs
NOTE: Our 18.5 lb recoil springs have a closed coil on one end to help them seat firmly on the guide rod. The closed coil end can be identified by its two close windings and narrow inside diameter. For proper installation, slide the closed coil end over the guide rod stem, this will leave the open end of the spring against the recoil spring plug. Improper recoil spring installation can lead to erratic cycling and possible guide rod damage.
NOTE: Always wear high-quality safety glasses when installing or fitting any spring to prevent eye injury. High-quality safety eyeglasses should be used when shooting any firearm.

Amazing Spring
I had been thinking about getting a stronger spring to replace the factory weight spring in my Kimber. I handload some very hot loads for it and destroy recoil springs quickly, so I bought this set to try out and boy does it make a difference. At the range I was shooting more accurately and enjoying how quickly the action cycled. A buddy was there with his Dan Wesson 1911 and we compared side by side how well They handled and my buddy was just as impressed with the difference of the spring and ordered this set for all of his 1911s. Great item

Best Springs !
A half pound does not seem like much, but the 18.5# Springs in this kit from Wilson Combat are simply the best springs for your 1911 platform.

Keeps Getting Better...
I purchased this kit along with a Wilson Combat full length guide rod. After installing the kit and guide rod i noticed a TREMENDOUS difference in the feel of the 1911. My S.A Range Officer feels more solid, and shoots more accurately. This is by far the best upgrade ive done so far to it. The Shok-Buff is added insurance and the spring and guide rod make me a better shooter. Cheap to own, and worth it 100%. BUY A FEW KITS NOW! Stop thinking about it.

Reduces Recoil
I installed the new spring and shok-buff on my Springfield TRP, and what a difference. The 18.5 lb spring is stronger than the stock spring, and was a nice upgrade. My accuracy improved tremendously with these. I was able to fire 50 rounds into the 10 ring at 7 yards! I definitely recommend this kit.

Yet Again Pleased
I didnt know how worn out my stock spring was until I bought this, to be completely honest this is high quality spring that restored my 1911 to that new out of the box feel. I also loved the way the shock buff and spring fit really tightly over the guide rod. I had a heckuva time getting the barrel bushing in with the new spring, overall, I was very impressed, yet another great product from wilson combat

Shok buff fit tightly over full length guiderod. Nice quality spring though the one I have in my Springfield Range Officer is practically new 200 rounds.
