Shop replacement magazine springs and competition spring kits for 1911 and 2011 magazines. Find 11-coil and 13-coil magazine springs, extra-power springs, and spring-and-follower kits for STI and SVI-pattern magazines, Staccato, MBX, SV Infinity, Check-Mate, and other compatible magazine systems.
The correct magazine spring depends on your magazine tube, tube length, follower, base pad, caliber, and desired capacity. Some springs are designed for a specific follower or magazine system and are not universally interchangeable, so always check the individual product description before ordering.
Magazine springs play an important role in reliable feeding and proper magazine function. A worn, damaged, or incorrectly matched spring can contribute to feeding problems, while the correct replacement spring can help maintain consistent cartridge presentation and reliable operation.
Before choosing a replacement spring, identify your magazine manufacturer, tube length, follower type, base pad configuration, and caliber. Competition magazines with extended base pads or reduced-capacity followers may require a different spring configuration than a factory magazine.
Double-stack 1911 and 2011 magazines are available from several manufacturers and use different combinations of tubes, followers, springs, and base pads. Our selection includes replacement and competition magazine springs for STI and SVI-pattern magazines, Staccato, MBX, SV Infinity, Check-Mate, and other compatible systems.
Do not assume that every 2011 magazine spring will work with every follower or tube. Some replacement springs are designed specifically for a manufacturer's follower system, while others are intended for factory-style followers or particular competition magazine configurations.
11-coil magazine springs are commonly used in 140mm competition magazine configurations and other compatible extended magazine setups. The correct spring depends on the magazine tube, follower, base pad, and desired capacity.
When replacing an 11-coil spring, verify that the spring is compatible with your follower. Some competition springs are designed specifically for Grams, TTI, MBX, or other manufacturer-specific follower systems and may not work correctly with a factory follower.
13-coil magazine springs are commonly used in longer 155mm and 170mm competition magazine configurations and other applications that require additional spring length and pressure. These springs are frequently used in Open Division and other extended-capacity magazine setups.
Magazine capacity and reliability depend on the complete system, including the tube, follower, spring, and base pad. Always verify component compatibility rather than selecting a spring based only on coil count or magazine length.
A matched spring-and-follower kit can be useful when building or tuning a competition magazine. These kits pair a compatible spring and follower designed to work together, helping reduce the uncertainty of combining components from different systems.
Competition followers may be designed to increase usable magazine capacity, but the final capacity and reliability of a magazine depend on the complete configuration. Check the product description for compatible magazine tubes, calibers, base pads, and magazine lengths.
Magazine components from STI-pattern, Staccato, MBX, SV Infinity, and other 2011 magazine systems should not automatically be considered interchangeable. Springs may attach differently to followers or be designed around specific tube dimensions and magazine configurations.
Before ordering, confirm the manufacturer of your magazine tube and follower. If you are using an aftermarket base pad or competition follower, verify that the replacement spring is designed for that combination.
Traditional single-stack 1911 magazines use a different design from double-stack 2011 magazines. Replacement springs are available for compatible 1911 magazine capacities and calibers, including extended 10-round magazine configurations.
When replacing a single-stack 1911 magazine spring, confirm the magazine capacity, caliber, tube design, and follower compatibility before ordering.
Magazine springs are wear components and should be inspected as part of regular magazine maintenance. Replacement may be appropriate when a spring is damaged, has noticeably weakened, or when a magazine begins experiencing feeding or cartridge-presentation issues that are traced to the spring.
Competition shooters who use the same magazines frequently may choose to inspect and replace springs proactively based on use and performance. There is no single replacement interval that applies to every magazine because spring life depends on the spring design, magazine configuration, ammunition, and frequency of use.
Browse replacement magazine springs, 11-coil springs, 13-coil springs, extra-power springs, and spring-and-follower kits for 1911 and 2011 magazines. Choose the correct spring for your magazine tube, follower, base pad, caliber, and intended use.
