Evolution Gun Works O/S Firing Pin Stop Ser 80 45 Blue - 10365

Upgrade the reliability and performance of your Series 80 1911-style pistol with the Evolution Gun Works Oversized Firing Pin Stop for .45 ACP. Precision-engineered as a direct-fit upgrade, this blued carbon steel component addresses common issues like extractor movement and inconsistent ejection, delivering smoother operation and enhanced durability for serious shooters and gunsmiths alike.

Key Features

• Oversized design wider than standard GI specifications (typically .466 inches) to securely lock the extractor in place and prevent rotation during cycling.
• Increased thickness eliminates lateral play for consistent, square contact with the case rim.
• Radiused inside corners reduce stress points and minimize the risk of cracking over thousands of rounds.
• Precisely machined .015-inch radius on the rear edge breaks sharp corners while preserving a square profile to help control slide velocity.
• 48 Rc hardness carbon steel construction with a durable blue finish for corrosion resistance and long service life.

Benefits for Your Firearm

By maintaining proper extractor alignment, this firing pin stop promotes reliable extraction and ejection, reducing malfunctions in both range and defensive scenarios. The tighter fit also contributes to smoother slide cycling, helping manage recoil impulse and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots. Because it is intentionally oversized, gunsmiths can custom-fit it for an exact match to your slide, extending the service life of critical components and improving overall pistol function.
