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.
