A stronger mag release spring for a Colt Gov't .380

utaherrn · January 17, 2006, 05:17 AM

so, who makes one?
Or, can I find a suitable replacement in the parts bins at Home Depot?

Thought Cylinder and Slide might, but their website doesn't seem to be working right now.

any help, anyone?

Wolff; I used one in mine and there were no problems. You may want to get the full kit from Wolff, It's about 15.00 or so and contains every spring except the loop one for the slide stop. Wolff also carries 5% extra power magazine springs for the Colt Gov. 380

sceva are you talking the little spring that looks sort like a key hole My mustang is put up at present. and I to lazey to get out. As I remember I got 1 in my spring package.
Anyway I replaced my springs and went to single recoil and wolff guide rod To bad Colt saw fit to stop making them I will buy another if I ever find on at a reasonable price.

yes, thats the one. None in my spring package however, Colt had them and sent one free. It solved a problem I had with the slide lock engaging during recoil. The original had obviously been bent by a previous owner and was very weak.
