Oversized Firing Pin Stop – Series 80 – 9/38/40/10 – Blued

Precision Upgrade for Reliable 1911 Performance

Enhance the reliability and consistency of your Series 80 1911 with the EGW Oversized Blued Firing Pin Stop for 9mm, .38 Super, .40 S&W, and 10mm pistols. This carefully engineered part corrects common extractor and slide control issues that standard firing pin stops often allow. Even though it is a small component, it plays a critical role in how smoothly your pistol cycles.

Oversized Design Prevents Extractor Clocking

EGW machines this firing pin stop wider than standard to stop extractor rotation, also known as extractor clocking. Because the extractor stays properly aligned, ejection becomes more consistent and reliable. In addition, the increased thickness eliminates lateral movement, which helps stabilize the slide during recoil and improves overall function.

Controlled Slide Timing and Reduced Battering

The rear edge features a precise .015-inch radius. This design breaks the sharp corner without rounding it excessively. As a result, the slide opens more gradually during firing. Slower initial slide movement reduces stress on the frame and slide, which helps extend the service life of your pistol, especially in higher-pressure calibers.

Radiused Corners for Strength and Longevity

EGW radiuses the internal corners to reduce stress concentrations. This detail helps prevent cracking and significantly increases durability under heavy use. For shooters who train frequently or run higher round counts, this added strength provides long-term confidence.

Heat Treated and Rockwell Tested

Each firing pin stop is heat treated and Rockwell tested to 48 Rc for consistent hardness and strength. Because this part is oversized, it is not drop-in and requires fitting. However, proper fitting delivers the tight, precise fit that unlocks the full benefits of this design.

Compatibility and Fit Notes

This firing pin stop fits Series 80 1911 pistols chambered in 9mm, .38 Super, .40 S&W, and 10mm. Series 80 firing pin stops will work in Series 70 pistols. However, Series 70 firing pin stops will only work in Series 70 guns. Always verify your pistol’s series before installation.
