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.
.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.

Gen 2 Slide Catch
Great product, easy install with no fitting required.

Gen 2 Slide Stop & SR1911 Perfect Together
I tried 3 other slide stops not including the original that has a slightly under size pin. None worked as perfectly as the 10-8 Gen 2. Save yourself the time and money get the best for your 1911.

Perfect Fit!!
Bought a new sig Sauer Nightmare carry- the MIM slide stop looked discolored and totally took away from the look of the gun. Quick shipping, and I installed it in just a few minutes. The part fit perfect and matched the other stainless components perfectly. I highly recommend this!

Great fit on Colt Gold Cup NM 1911 Series 80
Great - fit and finish. Popped right in - easier than the stock part. Work great.

Perfect
Perfect, snug drop-in on my Springfield V10. No more walking, much easier to install and handle.

Best slide stop I've used to date.
Perfect profile for me. I am left handed and easy to engage slide stop and release slide fast. Put one on my Cheely custom STI competition gun as well as my carry 1911. Love it.

Update: works perfectly
I wrote a review and had a probmlem with occasional FLB. I took a little material off the "tombstone" area of the slide stop to allow it to more deeply engage the slide. It is now 100%! I also rounded the front edge of the contact pad slightly with a diamond hone and it fits my preference better. Thanks for a quality part

Well made but a few quirks
I installed this piece in my gun and liked that the cross pin is a little larger than my stock piece. It is also a little easier to push past the plunger on reassembly. The bad parts are that the leading edge of pad your finger contacts to drop the slide is a little abrupt. This can be easily fixed but I would like to see a little more rounded off corner there. The only problem I've encountered is a failure to lock back occasionally. It might be a clearance issue. If I can get that sorted it'll be perfect.

Exactly as Described
Excellent fit & finish. The 0.200" pin dia was spot on, as it was one of the reasons I purchased the 10-8 product, my existing MIM slide stop was undersized. Finish is ultimately smoother than the bead blast on the Ruger 1911CMD, but I can re-blast if I care too - however it looks fine as-is.

Super Solid
I purchased this for a custom 1911. I threw away the custom parts and add this slide stop. All I can say is AWESOME.
