| Installed on Remington R1 and recoil was much less than standard spring.Slide feels really smooth and enchanced the pistols perormance. Worth the money |

another great addition |

| You would`nt think a recoil spring and guide would make such a difference, but it was noticable and an instant improvement. Flat wire only way to go. |

Improve your TRP |

| Bought the Flat-wire Recoil Spring kit to replace the 2-piece guide rod in my Springfield TRP. Easy installation and perfect fit. Makes disassembly easier and I can depend on Wilson reliability! |

| Replaced a full size guide rod and spring with the flat spring, standard gd. rod to fit the flat spring and a new blue, checkered plug. Was prepared for some hiccups but have run 400 rounds through my Kimber TLE II and not a single hiccup. |

Easy drop in spring |

| Went to the flat wire spring in my Rock Island Armory full size. Easy change out and even came with a shok buff recoil buffer on the new guide rod already! |

Nice part for Colt Railgun! |
Date Posted: 1/7/2013 |
| I installed this into a 99th year Colt Railgun Govt. I have shot Win White box, ASYM Match and ball, Federal HSP +P/non P LE Surplus HPs, Speer Gold dot HPs without issues.
Breaking this into paragraphs, I also shoot in .45 Super Buffalo Bore @1200 fps and have to change to a Wolff 22 Pound Spring with a Wilson Guide Rod before doing this. I would very much love to see a Flat-wire 22 pounder. PLEASE!!!
Also would like 18.5 pounds on up so I can better tune the weapon. 17 is very good but a little bit light with the HST rounds which is foundation of my concealed carry.
I have used and will continue to use Wilson, they have proven very well in my Colt. And yes, I try to keep it a Colt.. he he |

Face Lift for an 80s vintage Colt Govt. series 70 |
Date Posted: 12/29/2012 |
| Went to the 17# flat wound recoil spring with shock buffer and .250 guide rod. Also added the bushing compensator and had to shorten the recoil plug to 1.2 with a grinding wheel on my dremel tool.
This totally transformed this vintage firearm ~ smoothed out the action and I believe I have about a 50% reduction in recoil.
It is not an issue, but I thought I would be able to rotate the bushing compensator and release the recoil spring. This is not the case and you have to remove the compensator to release the recoil spring.
Outstanding products in quality and fit ~ added the starburt cocobolo grips and it looks awesome and made me think I was shooting a brand new 45 ~ to Wilson Combat, Please consider yourself appreciated.

Best Spring On The Market |
Date Posted: 11/9/2012 |
| This spring is a vast improvement on traditional springs. Its easier to put back in after breakdown, but loses no strength during firing. The guide rod is thinner and shorter than a standard guide rod. Shok-Buff fits after a little persuasion. Only time will tell as to lifespan, but I anticipate it being quite a few rounds. |

Great Spring |
Date Posted: 4/30/2012 |
| Great recoil spring. Just dropped into my Ed Brown without any modifications. Glad I wont have to replace for another year!! You have to use the spring guide that comes with it. Not sure if that is a minus though, seems heaftier than my factory supplied original!!! |

Perfect setup |
Date Posted: 2/14/2012 |
| I got this a couple months ago to try out, Its nice to drop it in and forget about it. Instead of worring about how many rounds are down range on the standard spring Ill just change this one out once a year. That should save me about 6 standard springs a year.
I hope they offer a drop in setup for my Professional soon. |

Recoil Spring Replacement - No Brainer |
Date Posted: 2/7/2012 |
| This is absolutely the best recoil spring I have ever used. I have an Ed Brown Special Forces, and the Flat-Wire Recoil Spring Kit fits as if it was made specifically for my gun. |

Cool new item |
Date Posted: 2/6/2012 |
| I did the math on this part and as much as I shoot it will start saving me money in about 6 months. Neat item. High quality machined rod also. Cant wait for a compact version and maybe one for other calibers. |
