M*CARBO Heavy-Duty Recoil Springs are Combat Ready to repeatedly take a pounding yet show remarkably consistent performance every time a round is fired.
In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. There is no hard and fast rule as to how much "Spring" a pistol needs. Too light a spring and the pistol opens and closes early and hard, increasing the felt recoil and battering the frame. Too heavy a spring and the slide is hard to open and may not cycle completely, jamming the pistol.

What is the correct 1911 recoil spring weight for your 1911 pistol?
The proper recoil spring weight for a 1911 pistol is dependent on the caliber and length of the barrel.
It is advised to tune your spring weights based on the type of loads you prefer to shoot most often. If you shoot mostly lighter loads, use lighter 1911 recoil spring weights and conversely if you prefer heavier +P loads use heavier 1911 recoil springs.
For all-around reliability try recoil springs in the middle like the 16lb Recoil Spring.
If your pistol fails to lock back on the last round after installing a new recoil spring, you may need to try a lighter weight spring.
