I have 2 4" Kimber 1911 .45's, factor spec recoil spring is 22#, which is what I run. I ordered 4 Wolff 'Colt Commander 22#' springs, part #42222, and there is a significant difference between my factory spring and the new Wolff, this verified between my 2 pistols and a friend's 4" Kimber.
Out of the package, I can't even compress the Wolff spring enough to get it back into the pistol. I counted the coils on the factory spring and bushwhacked the Wolff spring... and was able to get it back into the pistol. It works reasonably well but I'll have to cut another coil off most likely to get 100% reliability with it.
Am I missing something here? I have used Wolff springs before across about 6 different autos and I have never run into this problem.
