Oversized Firing Pin Stop Series 80 – .45 ACP – Stainless Steel

Oversized Firing Pin Stop Series 80 – .45 ACP – Stainless Steel

Upgrade your .45 ACP 1911 with the EGW Oversized Firing Pin Stop, a critical component for shooters who want better control, longer service life, and more consistent function. EGW designs this firing pin stop larger than factory parts, which lets you fit it precisely to your slide. Because of this tighter fit, the extractor stays locked in position and resists rotation during cycling. As a result, your pistol delivers more consistent ejection and smoother overall operation.

EGW machines each firing pin stop from high‑quality stainless steel and hardens it to 48 Rc. This added hardness helps the stop maintain its shape under recoil and prevents peening that often appears on softer factory parts. Over time, this strength preserves extractor alignment and keeps your slide timing consistent, even with higher round counts or hotter loads.

To further improve durability, EGW radiuses the internal corners. These smooth transitions reduce stress points that can lead to cracking. In addition, the rear edge features a controlled .015‑inch radius. This design breaks the sharp corner while keeping a square profile. Because of that balance, the firing pin stop helps slow initial slide movement, which can soften recoil impulse and improve overall timing.

Although this firing pin stop does not drop in, fitting it provides real performance benefits. Once fit, the stop eliminates side‑to‑side movement and creates a solid interface between the slide, extractor, and firing pin. Many builders and competitive shooters rely on oversized firing pin stops for this exact reason.

This model supports .45 ACP 1911 pistols built on the Series 80 pattern and also functions in Series 70 guns. However, Series 70 firing pin stops do not work in Series 80 pistols, so selecting the correct part matters.
