I need to know the original pound strength for Springfield Ultra Compact. Years ago my gunsmith put in the strongest spring he could. Now, with getting up in age (70) I cannot rack the slide anymore. I don't have the strength. Could anyone tell me what strength or pound strength the original was?

Wolff Recoil Spring 1911 Officer, Springfield Ultra Compact, V-10,
Recoil springs fit over your handgun's guide rod and control how the slide functions. In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need...

It's not a V-10. It's a model before the V-10. It's 20+ years old.
Whenever I need an old spring I just e-mail Wolff & ask them, they will twist a special spring as well for a price.
I orders the spring you mentioned. If it doesn't work I'll contact Wolf as you suggested. Thank you much!!

just saw this thread & looked @ my note on 1911 spring rate for an Officer Model 1911 & none found !
some quick online checked found a 22# spring works well for that size 1911.
Another source said 18#- 22# for an Officer sized 1911 in 45 acp
