It's worth the money! (27/08/2014)

Ouch! That is what I said to the price, but what a difference it can make if you have a commander 1911 that doesn't like most JHPs. They say this flatwire spring will last 4 times longer than a traditional spring which in the officer 3" and 4" isn't too many trips to the range. My Kimber BP Ten 4" had problems with most JHPs. After replacing a worn spring with this $$$ one, the action was much more firm and smooth with a very even pull. But how does it shoot?

Awesome!!! I tried various JHP loads, and it cycled most of them - just Hornady Critical Duty 220gr +P and Speer 200gr +P GDHP had an occasional FTF issue. It shot reliably the Federal HST 230gr +P, Federal Hydra shok 185gr +P and 230gr, and the Remington Golden Saber 185gr +P, and 230 gr.

Next trip to the range, I plan to try the Underwood 185gr GDHP and XTP rounds both rated with velocities of 1200 fps in 5" barrel.

Fit perfectly in Kimber Stainless Pro Carry II

The best! (10/05/2013)

I put this in my Springfield TRP Operator to replace that annoying full length guide rod. This is flat recoil spring kit is the perfect replacement! The TRP cycles so smooth with it. You can even tell a night and day difference on how it cycles by cycling the slide by hand. I already ordered two more for my other Springfield Operators.

Wilson Combat flat wire recoil spring (08/07/2013)

Perfect fit in my Springfield 1911 Mil Spec .45 auto. Get the kit because you will need the special rod for this spring. Gives the slide a smooth consistent feel and performance. Also while you're at it, get the recoil buffer that works with the spring rod guide. Helps out with wear.

Impressed with the product (24/07/2013)

Just received my recoil spring in the mail today and I'm already impressed. It's revitalized my 1911A1 by returning some snap to the slide. I'm also impressed at the addition of a Shok Buff in the package, I didn't catch that in the product description when I ordered it. My one complaint is that the recoil spring retainer doesn't capture the spring tightly, so disassembly is slightly more complicated to keep the spring from sliding off and 'exploring the room'.

1911 Flat Spring Kit (14/04/2014)

I purchased 3 to try in some of my 1911. They are great, a lot better than the factory. I even put in a Les Baer, Ed Brown, Nighthawk, and now have ordered 3 more for some other 1911. You cannot go wrong with this ad on. You can now forget about how many have I put in what gun. Love the deal!!!!!

Horrible (05/07/2014)

I expected more from the spring but after trying to install this on a guide rode that is approximately the width as the guide rode that came with it the spring can only be put on the guide rod that came with it making it useless. It feels the same as a regular spring just made more durable but you cannot put it on anything else. I have a dpm recoil system I was hoping this would work on because the guide rod is about the same size. No it is not. This was a waste of money for me.

great so far (06/12/2016)

finally replaced the two piece rod on my Springer Loaded. used the Ed Brown plug Brownells also sells.

easy install, my Loaded only had 200 rds through it but the flat spring still provides a more noticeable snap back into battery. really pleased with purchase.

really like it (27/12/2016)

got this to put in my new 1911 Springfield parkerized loaded. wanted to do away with the 2-piece guide rod from the factory so i wouldn't need a allen wrench to take a part my gun. Wilson Combat parts are very nicely made and looking forward to seeing how the flat spring works out. from what others say should be just fine and maybe a little batter then the factory spring. just know i've used fat spring on other things with good results. don't forget to get a GI plugs here to complete the set-up and you'll be good to go.
