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 matte black phosphate finish.

Slide Stop perfection
So perfectly manufactured. No fitting required. Designed to aid with the plunger and works like a charm. Color matches my Sig Sauer 1911 SSS perfectly.

Stainless Slide Stop
This slide stop was as advertised,shipping was fast. The stop was a perfect drop-in fit on my new Rock Island GI 1911 and works perfectly.

You'll be pleasantly surprised
Solved the problem of slide lock back after the final round on one of my new pistols. Also, the angled lobe made it a lot easier installing it without a tool pushing back the detent plunger - thus also avoiding the "idiot scratch."

Wasn't sure I'd like one
I took advantage of a sale recently and added a slide stop. I have a used Springfield Champion that I was thinking of installing it in. It dramatically improved how my gun functioned. the gun had been bubba gun smithed by it's previous owner and had the cheapest John Masen looking slide stop on it. A quick re-radius of the top of the head to clear the notch in my frame was all it needed to fit. Improved the guns slide/barrel fit after installation. Since buying the first one, I have added 3 more to other guns of mine. Very well made product and I will use them in all my future guns.

Finest Slide Stop Ever!
Extremely well machined with tight tolerances and great finish. Required minor fitting of notch but that's what you want so you can obtain a perfect fit in your firearm. The enhanced pad is the perfect size, slightly bigger but not obtrusive.

Dropped in, fixed the issue, works great
I am a newbie to 1911s (my other handguns are all SIG P-Series), so I was afraid of dragging the slide stop on the frames of my Ruger SR1911 (Govt) and Dan Wesson Guardian 9mm (commander). Both of these pistols' stock slide stops were not relieved to easily install over the slide stop pin without dragging on the frame. The 10-8 slide stop makes takedown and reassembly much less nerve wraking for a newbie. I no longer fear the idiot mark!

Superb Design & Craftsmanship
A well designed and perfectly machined slide stop is vital for any competitive shooter running a 1911. Hilton's "Gen 2" slide stop has performed perfectly each and every time and shaved precious seconds off my tactical reloads. Few 1911 parts I've tried have been better designed, perfectly machined and more beautifully finished than the "Gen 2" slide stop. In fact, I've found this design to be so reliable in competition that I've replaced the slide stop on my (brand new Kimber Super Carry Pro HD) primary carry weapon as well. I just wish the rest of my firearm looked so good!

Worth every penny
I replaced stock slide stop on a ss trp. I could not be happier,fits tighter,looks better,functions better. What more could you ask for.

Doesn't get any better!
Excellent part, dropped right in my American Classic II. Well worth the price, you won't be disappointed.

Wasn't sure about all the wow factor, now I know
What I can say for sure is the part is top quality, drops right in and is smooth as glass. With an empty magazine the slide is hard to disengage, but slide a loaded magazine in and it is like butter.
