Slide Stop, Gen 2

$55.95

*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.

    Great product

    I received this quickly and was able to drop it right into my prodigy without any adjustment.

    Great Slide Stop, Requires Fitting

    The fit and finish of this part are great and what you’d expect from Hilton and 10-8 Performance. A nice (and needed) upgrade to the Springfield Armory Prodigy 5”. Only downside is that it requires fitting by a gunsmith, but that should be expected with most 191as/2011s.

    Prodigy extended slide stop/release

    100% better than factory release.

    2011 Slide Stop

    Dropped right into my Prodigy 4.25" without any issues. Makes using the pistol more efficient and looks great in Stainless.

    Gen 2 slide stop, 1911 fiber optic front sight and Low Mount 1911 rear sight;

    Installed a gen 2 slide stop on one of my 1911’s and I’m really happy with it, good quality slide stop all around. Also bought a 1911 fiber optic front sight and the Low Mount U notch rear sight to install as a pair. Little bit of fitting as expected but not much, very nice quality made 1911 sights for a great price. Fast shipping as well. Will definitely be buying more from 10-8, they offer quality parts at a great price, thank you 10-8!!!!!

    Great part

    Provides a nice, tight fi in my gun. It’s a definite improvement over the factory slide stop.

    Gen. 2 Slide Stop

    I think I have three of these on guns now. Quality of finish and design is evident. The shape/size of the pad allows me very positive contact to release slide with my trigger finger (lefty). I also like the bevel that makes for quick/no scratch re-assembly. The .200" pins required some minor fitting or tightened up barrel differently on each gun. Nothing wrong with other machined high quality slide stops, but the features on this make me prefer it.

    Slide stop

    It is a great product and is better than the factory Staccato. I wish you had an extended slide release as well. It is hard to find them for 2011 in 9mm.
