Wilson Combat 703G18 Full Size Recoil Spring #18 - Chrome Silicone Steel$11.91
Availability: In Stock
The Wilson Combat 703G16 full size recoil spring is a purpose-built replacement component for 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP. Rated at 16 lbs, this spring is engineered to manage the substantial recoil energy of the .45 and restore your 1911 to factory-correct function after wear or performance tuning. Whether you're running a stock government model or a customized 1911 built for duty or competition, a quality recoil spring is one of the most cost-effective ways to keep your pistol running reliably shot after shot.
Wilson Combat springs are manufactured from chrome silicone steel, a material choice that balances durability with consistent performance across thousands of rounds. Unlike some aftermarket springs that lose their temper over time, chrome silicone steel maintains its return characteristics and resists the fatigue that can lead to premature failure or inconsistent lockup. This is the kind of component that doesn't need to be replaced frequently if it's spec'd correctly for your load and platform.
The #16 spring rate suits full size 1911 frames and the standard .45 ACP round. If you're building a 1911, upgrading from a worn spring, or fine-tuning your pistol's cycling, this spring is a straightforward, reliable part from a maker known for quality and attention to detail. It's not flashy, but it's exactly what competent gunsmiths and 1911 shooters reach for when the application calls for it.
| Product | Wilson Combat 703G16 Full Size Recoil Spring #16 |
| Brand | Wilson Combat |
| Spring Rate | 16 lbs |
| Caliber | .45 ACP |
| Platform | Full Size 1911 |
| Material | Chrome Silicone Steel |
The Wilson Combat 703G16 is designed for full size 1911 frames chambered in .45 ACP. Confirm your pistol is a full size government model before ordering; compact or officer's size 1911s require different spring rates.
This spring is engineered specifically for 1911-pattern firearms. It is not compatible with other .45 ACP designs like the M1911 variants or other platform pistols.
Springs lose their temper and return characteristics over time. If your 1911 is not cycling reliably, locking back on the last round, or showing signs of early wear on feed or ejection, a fresh spring is often the first troubleshooting step.
Yes. The 16 lbs rate is standard for full size .45 ACP 1911s across duty, competition, and sport shooting applications. It will cycle factory-loaded ammunition reliably when properly installed in a compatible pistol.
