Upgrade the reliability and performance of your Series 70 1911 .45 ACP pistol with the Evolution Gun Works Oversized Firing Pin Stop. Designed specifically for shooters who demand consistent extraction and ejection, this precision-machined component minimizes extractor movement while accommodating popular rear sight configurations.
Key Features
- Oversized dimensions provide a tighter fit than standard GI stops (typically .466″ wide), reducing lateral play on the extractor for smoother, more reliable function.
- Top cut for rear sight clearance allows compatibility with adjustable or Bomar-style sights without interference.
- Blue carbon steel construction delivers durability and a professional finish that matches most 1911 slides.
- Precision tolerances ensure consistent performance across a wide range of 1911 platforms.
Benefits for 1911 Owners
Many 1911 enthusiasts experience extractor issues that lead to failures to eject or stovepipes. This oversized stop addresses that pain point by stabilizing the extractor, promoting positive ejection even under rapid fire or with varied ammunition. The sight-cut design eliminates the need for custom modifications when installing taller or adjustable rear sights, saving time and preserving the integrity of your slide.
