EGW HD 1911 Firing Pin (.066") | Fits Most Prodigies
The ultimate gunsmith's solution for building a reliable, high-performance 1911. The EGW Heavy-Duty (HD) Firing Pin is precision-machined to a .066" diameter, a common specification for modern 9mm and .38 Super slides.

1911 Firing Pin FAQ
Why are there different firing pin diameters?
Over the history of the 1911, different manufacturers have used different firing pin diameters for various reasons, often related to caliber. For example, .092" was common for .45 ACP, while smaller diameters like .066", .075" or .068" became popular for 9mm and .38 Super to increase breech face strength. It is critical to match the firing pin diameter to your slide's firing pin hole.
