Cool
Springs

Please give your opinion on the best gun springs for a 1911. I have used Wolff pretty much exclusively when replacing recoil, firing pin, and main/hammer springs. I would love to hear about others experience with various makers. It might turn us on to sometihing that we do not know. Let it rip.

Wolff for my 1911's and CZ. When the product works why seek out others. Prices are reasonable, shipping is fast and they cover all the bases.

Wolff

I've tried others like Wilson, but Wolff is the best!

I've been running ISMI spring's in my 1911's lately without any problems. I forgot what the guarantee was. With a little over 1500 round's through one of my Baer's, the spring is the same length as when I put it in. I usually run a 16lb recoil spring in a 5" 1911.

I usually use Wolff, but I am trying a variable rate Sprinco right now. So far I like it.

I have always stuck with Wollf springs, but on the recommendation of a friend, I'm going to try one of the ISMI recoil springs a try. They seem to have as loyal following as Wolff, so I felt compelled to try one. I'm sure I will be pleased. One thing though, ISMI does not carry all the various 1911 springs that Wolff does, so Wolff is still the best source for most springs.

Does anyone have a web site for the ISMI springs. I am going to order a 19lb hammer spring for my new Commander today and may just give them a try.

Thanks,

Chuck

I've used both ISMI and Wolff, both are top quality springs don't think you'll go wrong with either. Right now I'm using a 16.5 variable Wolff in my Colt SS GM, noticed a bit better function with it.
