4516-2

[25birdman]

Just bought a 4516-2 and I can't wait to shoot it. It fits my hand real well and feels better balanced (to me) than my 4566TSW.

I bought some mags but need some info on where I can pick up a recoil spring. This is the model that has two springs (inner/outer). Do I purchase the springs separately or are they paired up?

Thanks!!

Pretty sure Wolff has the nested springs. probably your best bet since everywhere else is B.O. Buy the kit that also has the firing pin spring and stay with standard weight unless you are planning on shooting lots of hot loads...BTW, these are sweet shootin guns!

I'll give Wolff a call next week.....seems like all the springs on their website are for the 4516-1.

Definitely want to keep the factory weight. I don't shoot +p ammo though my guns.

Thanks for the feedback Vinny!!

Search for the thread "BMCM tested and approved springs for the 4516-2" on this forum. Wolff does not make these springs. IIRC the springs are flat wire and Wolff doesn't make flat wire springs.

That was a great thread....Thank You!!

Very nice .45!

GaryS beat me to it, but I have cut down some springs (as BMCM instructed.) and they have worked well.
