EGW HD Firing Pin Stop for Springfield Prodigy (9mm)

EGW HD Flat Bottom Firing Pin Stop for Springfield Prodigy and MAC 9DS

Improve the feel and shootability of your Springfield Prodigy or MAC 9 DS with the EGW HD Flat Bottom Firing Pin Stop. Unlike standard firing pin stops, this model uses a precision-machined flat-bottom profile to change the slide’s mechanical advantage over the hammer.

As a result, the slide takes more effort to unlock. This can help reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise, while also helping you get back on target faster for follow-up shots.

Precision Drop-In Fit

EGW machines this firing pin stop specifically for the slide dimensions of the Springfield Prodigy and MAC 9 DS. Therefore, you get a true drop-in fit without the tedious filing and fitting often required with universal 1911 parts.

Additionally, the close fit helps keep the extractor properly aligned. This helps prevent extractor “clocking,” which can support more consistent extraction and ejection.

Flat Bottom Design for Better Recoil Control

The key feature of this firing pin stop is its flat-bottom profile with a small radius. Unlike the more rounded factory-style profile, the flat bottom reduces the slide’s mechanical advantage over the hammer.

Because of this change, the slide unlocks later and absorbs more recoil energy through the cycling system. Consequently, the pistol can feel flatter during rapid fire and may offer better control during follow-up shots.

Machined from Solid Carbon Steel

EGW machines this firing pin stop from solid carbon steel rather than using MIM construction. We then heat-treat the part to provide the strength and durability needed for demanding use.

Furthermore, the blued finish adds corrosion resistance while giving the part a classic appearance.

Firearm Compatibility

This EGW firing pin stop fits the following 9mm double-stack pistols:

• Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 3.5″
• Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 4.25″
• Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 5″
• MAC 9 1911 DS

Series 70 Configuration

This model uses a Series 70-style configuration and does not include a firing pin safety cut. Therefore, verify your pistol’s configuration before installation.

Recoil System Tuning

Because the flat-bottom design increases resistance against the hammer, it can change how the slide cycles. Therefore, you may need to tune the recoil system for reliable operation with your specific pistol and ammunition.

A lighter recoil spring may help the slide cycle fully. Additionally, shooters often pair this firing pin stop with an EGW 17 lb or 19 lb mainspring to further tune the pistol’s cycling characteristics.
