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

Definitely requires fitting. The square bottom allows you to customize the break at the bottom. More square slows your slide down and makes the recoil impulse feel softer. May need to use a lighter recoil spring depending on your load. As always: test, test, test.

Great product for slides with the adjustable site cut. A little filing / fitting and good to go. Highly recommend.
