1911 / 2011 Commander Length 4.25" Color-Coded Recoil Spring by Taylor Tactical
The Taylor Tactical Commander-Length Color-Coded Recoil Spring takes the guesswork out of tuning your 4.25" 1911 or 2011 pistol. Each spring is color coded for quick identification, making it easy to keep track of spring weights while testing loads, refining recoil characteristics, or replacing worn springs.
Choosing the proper recoil spring weight can significantly affect how your pistol cycles, tracks, and returns to the target. A spring that is too heavy can cause excessive muzzle dip and slow sight recovery, while a spring that is too light can increase wear on the pistol and reduce reliability.
These springs are designed specifically for commander-length 1911 and double-stack 2011-style pistols equipped with 4.25" barrels.
