1911-22 Magazine Springs
Does it matter which way the magazine springs are installed into the sig 1911-22 magazines?

Is there a right & wrong way?

If you're asking because you disassembled yours and want to know how to put it back together, please just say so. Somebody on the forum with a Sig 1911 .22 will likely respond. I personally don't own one.

Generally, ANY mag spring should be reinstalled the same way it was before it was removed. Most mag springs have a front/back and a top/bottom. If reassembled incorrectly, it will cause functioning issues. Rule of thumb on any disassembly is to note the position of all components. Either take notes or pics.

Welcome to the forum.

From diagrams I have looked at it seems to be like most other 1911 magazines. There is a loop that fits under the follower and a a non looped end that sits on top the magazine insert.
