Nowlin 1911 Government 14 lb Recoil Spring

The Nowlin 14 lb Recoil Spring fits the 1911 Government. The recoil spring returns the slide to battery after each shot, and its rate affects how the slide cycles and how hard it slams home.

Springs wear with use, so swapping the recoil spring is routine upkeep on a pistol that sees a lot of range time. Match the spring rate to your load and your pistol.
