EGW Flat Bottom Oversized Firing Pin Stop – Made in the USA | 1911 Firearm Upgrade

What is an effective and affordable way to reduce recoil and muzzle flip?
Upgrade to the EGW Flat Bottom Firing Pin Stop.

This precision-machined component is a simple yet powerful 1911 upgrade that improves reliability, reduces recoil, and enhances overall shooting performance—all without breaking the bank.

Why Choose the EGW Firing Pin Stop?

• Reduces Slide Velocity for Less Recoil:
  The flat bottom design delays slide opening just enough to reduce muzzle flip and felt recoil—improving control and follow-up shot speed. It's one of the most cost-effective performance enhancements for your 1911.

• Stops Extractor Rotation:
  Wider than standard firing pin stops, this part prevents the extractor from turning, promoting consistent and reliable case ejection.

• Thicker Profile for Tight Fit:
  The added thickness eliminates lateral movement, resulting in tighter tolerances and more reliable cycling.

• Sights-Friendly Design:
  Top of the firing pin stop is cut to clear rear sight dovetails, including BoMar-style rear sights.

• Built to Last:

  • Radiused internal corners prevent cracking for long-term durability

  • Back corner includes a .015” radius, maintaining a square profile to help slow the slide

• Heat Treated & Rockwell Tested:

  • Hardened to 48 Rc on the Rockwell scale for superior strength and wear resistance

• Not Drop-In – Custom Fit Required:
  This oversized part requires fitting, ensuring optimal engagement and maximum performance for your specific 1911 platform.

Compatibility:

• Fits all 1911 models

• Series 80 firing pin stops work in Series 70 and Series 80 guns

• Series 70 firing pin stops only work in Series 70 guns

• Available in caliber-specific and series-specific options
