7-Round, Qty 3 by WOLFF 11lbs spring

CURES PROBLEMS WITH WADCUTTER LOADS FEEDING. WORKS GREAT.

Works great!

I had a problem with my 1911 slide not locking back after the last round with several magazines. Replaced the old springs with Wolff +5% XP springs and solved the problem.

Works for Me

These springs were easy to install. They definitely have more tension than the factory springs in my CMC Shooting Star mags.

Mag Springs

While they were easy to install, I couldn't load more than 7 rounds in the mag after replacement.

Sorry spring

Replaced a spring in a Colt OEM 8 round magazine. While it looks identical to the spring being replaced it only allows 7 rounds to be loaded. The Wolff spring is longer front to back and doesn't allow the follower to pass over the spring.
