Wilson Combat 614G17 Flat Wire Recoil Spring 17lb .45 ACP Silver

The Wilson Combat 614G17 Flat Wire Recoil Spring delivers consistent cycling performance for .45 ACP pistols with its precision-engineered 17-pound spring rate. This premium replacement component addresses reliability issues common with factory recoil springs while extending service life through advanced metallurgy and manufacturing processes.

What Makes This Different

Flat wire construction provides more consistent compression characteristics compared to round wire springs, resulting in smoother slide operation and reduced spring bind. The proprietary steel alloy maintains tension longer than standard springs, typically lasting 5,000+ rounds before replacement becomes necessary. Wilson Combat's heat treatment process ensures dimensional stability across temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F.

Key Features

• 17-pound spring rate optimized for standard .45 ACP loads (185-230 grain bullets)
• Flat wire design eliminates spring bind and coil stacking issues
• Premium chrome silicon steel construction with proprietary heat treatment
• Silver finish provides corrosion resistance and visual inspection capability
• Compatible with 1911 Government and Commander frame sizes
• Precision ground ends ensure proper seating in slide and frame
• Extended service life rated for 5,000+ round count

This recoil spring maintains consistent bolt velocity across different ammunition weights, reducing extraction and ejection malfunctions that plague factory springs after extended use. Competition shooters benefit from the predictable recoil impulse that aids in faster sight recovery between shots. The spring rate works effectively with both ball and hollow point ammunition without requiring load-specific tuning.
