Works Fine in several 1911's
I have used these several times for 1911 replacement springs. Normally 16 lb. weight is the proper factory spring replacement.

GREAT VALUE
I used this 18 lb recoil spring in conjuction with the ISMI 17 lb mainspring in a High Standard 1911. This combo lightens the trigger and maintains safe, reliable function of the 1911.
