The firing pin stop on my RIA 10mm had a huge radius on it - and the recoil to match. I thought I'd try this to see if the recoil could be tamed down some. I've done a lot of work on 1911 internals over the years, but this was my first time fitting a FPS. I took it slow, filing, marking and fitting many times until I got the perfect fit. Even then it only took about 20 minutes. The end result is fantastic! The felt recoil is substantially reduced and, because the FPS was fitted properly, there are no longer any issues with the extractor clocking. Great product!

It was in fact oversized. It required fitting on 4 surfaces. Which is good. My original rock island had a greatly undersized FPS allowing the janky extractor to clock. I replaced both parts with EGW versions and took the 20 minute to hard fit them, and it extracts like a champ now. Oh, and EGW has the coolest stickers.

Needs a little work to fit it, but otherwise ok. Quick service and shipping will purchase from EGW again.

Pretty easy to fit (Super .38 Auto). Keeps extractor 'clocking' to a minimum for more consistent ejection pattern, and the minimal radius at the bottom slows the initial slide movement so it doesn't throw the brass into the next county. Most satisfied with it. Thanks!
