Description
*While this part is a drop in fit in many pistols, gunsmith fitting may be required on some guns. The .200" (nominal) diameter pin is typically bigger than your factory unit (they tend to run .195-.199") and may not fit into the frame hole. The larger diameter pin can create a tighter lockup with the barrel's lower lugs, sometimes such that the gun will not go into battery without gunsmith fitting.
**A popular question is "will this fit in my XXX 1911." As above, every single 1911 will be a little different, and may or may not require gunsmith fitting.
***This part was the OEM slide stop for the Staccato 2011's from 2018-2020, and their current slide stop has a similarly shaped lever. As much as we'd like to sell you a slide stop, you may not gain much from fitting a 10-8 slide stop to a current Staccato. Further, the Staccato factory machines the barrel lugs to the slide stop in your gun, so that they are dimensionally matched for optimum lockup and accuracy. You cannot simply drop in a new slide stop into your Staccato, and doing so may likely result in a fit inferior to the factory's work. For users new to the 1911/2011, the slide stop is to be depressed with the support hand during the reload, and this lever does not extend to the rear to make your gun like a Glock.
Our second generation slide stop is an all original design that is totally reengineered to provide you a whole new level of functionality.
- Unique pad shape that only protrudes approximately .050" more than a GI style, but with a ledge shape that provides a more positive shelf for manipulation
- Interior of lobe angled for easy installation - no more scratches on your slide!
- Engagement surfaces optimized for positive lockback
- Geometry improves slingshot slide release during reloads
- Design improves detent spring pressure to minimize chance of premature lockback
- Optimum diameter .200" (nominal dimension) pin for improved lockup
- Right end of pin has protruding convex domed tip, same as GI slide stops
Fits all 1911 pattern pistols, including Govt/Commander/Officer sizes and 2011/Caspian/Para double column frames. Also fits Springfield EMP, which will accept the 9/.38/.40 versions.
.45 ACP version has .200" lobe protrusion.
9mm/.38/.40 version has .220" lobe protrusion. **All calibers other than .45 will use 9/.38 slide stop**
Machined from bar stock and heat treated.
Carbon steel version has black oxide finish.
Stainless Steel version has matte bead blast finish.

Good design
This product was very well thought out all of the edges are cut at a radius so there’s Less chance of fracturing. There was enough material for me to cut the tab down a little bit. I don’t like things to extend out to far out on my pistols
-
Outstanding product
Improves look of pistol especially with the EGW thumb safety. Did require fitting to install but after 5 mins filing in the right spots it works flawless.

Amazing
Looks great fits perfectly... matches the sti finish perfectly

Quality replacement for MIM junk
Bought this part in hope of tightening the lockup on my S&W E series 1911. The stock part was .195 and really loose. The 10-8 stop is dead on .200, so I got .0025 tighter. Unfortunately, I still had a soggy lockup, and resorted to a slightly longer link to tighten it up and fix the 10-12" high impacts at 25 yds. A new barrel is in my future, I suppose.

Superb product that lives up to its advertisement.
Replaced the MIM stop on my SIG two tone ultra carry. This fits perfectly and the SS color exactly duplicates the SIG SS. Installs easily and eliminates the problem with the idiot scratch. Forged parts far better than MIM. Finally, a product that works as advertised. I'll be back for more 10 8 parts.

100% perfect
Comparing to the OE MIM part is really unfair, as the 10-8 piece is in a whole different class. Perfectly machined, well finished and a perfect fit. An extra peace of mind and better "ledge" for activation too.
-
Perfect drop in replacement.
Perfect fit for my Kimber Ultra Carry II, well machined and the shelf matched my thumb safety perfectly.
-
Great product and design
Great design and works really good. Required a little fitting but for the most part drop in.

Best slide stop available
This is not the first slide stop I have bought from you and it probably won't be the last. I have used others but no more. Too bad you don't offer other excellent parts for the 1911. You could outdo Wilson if you chose to.
