Wilson Combat Heavy-Duty Recoil Springs are made combat tough to repeatedly take a pounding yet show remarkably consistent performance every time a round is fired.
Keeping a fresh recoil spring in your pistol will dramatically reduce the pounding your slide and frame receive.
HOW TO TEST TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT RECOIL SPRING WEIGHT FOR YOUR AMMUNITION: Go to the range with your pistol and a magazine that will positively lock your slide to the rear when you slowly retract the slide with the pistol empty. Load one round of the desired ammunition in the proven magazine, load the pistol and fire the single shot holding the pistol in your strong hand, but grip the pistol fairly loose. If the pistol consistently (5 to 10 shots is adequate) locks the slide to the rear, the recoil spring is not too heavy for your ammunition. A recoil spring that is 1-2# below the weight where you begin to have failures to lock open is ideal for your ammunition.

New to 1911's. I added this to upgrade my basic Charles Daly. I noticed the Wilson Combat spring was slightly longer and racking the slide was smoother after install. Works great. At $6 you might as well add these to any 1911's you have. Might upgrade to the chrome silicon ones if I start to put more .45 down range.

Recoil Spring seemed to solve my problem

I was having FTE problems with my Colt 1911 and a friend recommended shopping MGW for a new recoil spring. I made the mistake of ordering a flat spring which required a different guide rod and MGW customer service was able to cancel the order and I then ordered the correct spring. I only ran 50 rounds through it, but that seemed to solve my FTE problem. Kudos to MGW!
