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
- Pin is nominal .870" as measured from interior of slide stop plate to the tip of the convex pin
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.

9mm/.38/.40 version has .220" lobe protrusion. **All calibers other than .45 will use 9/.38 slide stop**

Slide Stop Gen 2
I have outfitted all my KIMBER pistols with 10-8 Slide stops. They fit precisely and I like the ledge that Hilton has designed. Great engineering, as always. Further the armorers block and tools are also great.

Slide Stop Gen 2
Amazing fit and finish, and verifiably faster on my reload times with a shot clock. Wish I had more 1911’s just to buy more to put in

Perfect in every way
I purchased this slide stop in carbon steel for my .45 ACP Springfield Garrison. It dropped right in with zero fuss. The design and finish is absolutely magnificent. You can tell Hilton either attains perfection with his products or he doesn’t sell them at all.

Gen 2 slude stop
Bought this after reading many good reviews of this curing slide lock back issues. Put this in a RIA full size that was fussy locking slide back with various magazines. Part dropped right i n and problem immediately was solved. Also seems to have taken a bit of play out of gun. Quality product,...try one and I believe you'll be satisfied.

Great slidestop
Installed into my TRP 10mm Operator and did have to be fit (factory was 0.196 diameter) after I fit with the lugs the slide stop functioned better than the factory MIM part and gave more positive lock back on all my magazines. Great part. Will be ordering more for my other 1911’s.

Good fit
Fit right into my springfield prodigy and the slide to frame fitment got tighter without binding or anything weird. Good quality part with much better ergonomics.

Good product
The part looks great but required minor fitting which I knew was a possibility. This was easy to do with the part in a vice and some 320 grit sandpaper. I only had to remove a few thousandths of an inch for a perfect fit and apply some cold blue. It was quick and with proper technique it remained uniform in diameter. It was easy enough to fit that I have ordered a second one for my other 1911.

Slide stip, gen 2
Bought and installed the 10-8 Performance gen 2 slide stop on my Prodigy. It worked excellent. Way better than the stock slide stop. I did have to take a very little amount of materials off of the back to keep it from binding on the frame. Outstanding product overall.
