Oversized Firing Pin Stop – Series 80 – 9mm / .38 Super / .40 S&W / 10mm – Stainless Steel

Improve the reliability and consistency of your Series 80 1911 with the EGW Oversized Stainless Steel Firing Pin Stop. This precision-machined upgrade solves common extractor and slide control issues found with standard factory firing pin stops.

Improved Extractor Control

EGW machines this firing pin stop wider than standard. Because of this added width, the extractor cannot rotate or “clock” during cycling. As a result, the extractor stays properly aligned, which produces more consistent and reliable ejection shot after shot.

Thicker Design for Better Slide Stability

In addition to increased width, this firing pin stop features extra thickness. This design eliminates lateral movement in the slide. Consequently, the slide tracks more smoothly and predictably during recoil, which improves overall function and durability.

Radiused Corners for Strength and Longevity

EGW radiuses the internal corners to reduce stress and prevent cracking over time. At the rear, a precise .015-inch radius breaks the sharp edge while keeping a square profile. This square edge helps slow initial slide opening, which reduces battering and enhances long-term reliability.

Hardened Stainless Steel Construction

EGW machines this firing pin stop from stainless steel and hardens it to 48 Rc. Each part is Rockwell tested to ensure consistent hardness and performance. Therefore, it resists deformation and holds its shape even under heavy use.

Oversized for a Precision Fit

This firing pin stop is intentionally oversized and is not a drop-in part. Fitting is required. However, that fitting process delivers the tight, custom fit that provides the real performance benefits serious shooters expect.
