EGW 1911 Firing Pin – .075″ Tip Diameter – Springfield

EGW 1911 Firing Pin – .075″ Tip Diameter (Most Springfield Pistols)

Upgrade your Springfield 1911 with the EGW .075″ 1911 Firing Pin and gain cleaner ignition, smoother operation, and improved long‑term reliability. EGW machines this firing pin to extremely precise dimensions, holding tolerances within .001 inch of the slide’s firing pin hole. Because of this exact fit, the firing pin minimizes excess clearance. Consequently, it helps prevent primer flow and primer shear—two common causes of light strikes, misfires, and inconsistent ignition, especially in match pistols and high‑round‑count guns.

Unlike many extra‑long firing pins, EGW cuts this firing pin to a true 2.260‑inch overall length. As a result, the firing pin maintains correct protrusion and proper timing. More importantly, it limits unnecessary travel inside the firing pin channel. Therefore, when the barrel unlocks, the firing pin remains free to move instead of dragging against sheared primer material. In turn, this supports reliable ignition and consistent performance shot after shot.

Modern .45 ACP pistol design continues to move toward smaller firing pin diameters for better safety and reliability. EGW follows this proven approach. Because Springfield Armory commonly uses a .075‑inch firing pin hole, this firing pin provides the correct diameter without compromise. Consequently, it delivers dependable ignition while reducing primer‑related problems over time.

In addition, EGW’s precision machining ensures consistent weight, smooth movement, and repeatable performance. Whether you run factory ammunition or hotter match loads, this firing pin helps your pistol fire cleanly and cycle correctly under demanding conditions.
