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.

Prodigy slide stop
Fit like a glove, got lucky and didn't require fitting and is a fantastic upgrade!

1911 slide stop
I replaced my Dan Wesson Guardian slide stop with a Wilson Combat slide stop because the slide rarely stayed back on a empty magazine. The Wilson didn't fix the problem. I purchased one of 10-8 gen 2 slide stops and it works flawlessly. I used several brands of magazines and the slide stop worked with all of them. Great product.

Slidestop
Perfect fit and finish for STI DVC to replace worn part. Needed the pin size specified for this part. Other sources providing “drop-in” parts typically have a smaller pin.

Slide Lock for 1911/2011
The slide lock was ordered to improve the performance of a recessed slide lock on a Springfield Prodigy. with very minor fitting, the slide lock improved fit and ease of manipulation. This is a very worthwhile upgrade.

Love this slide stop!
Installed on a Colt Gov’t and dropped right in with no fitting required. These usually require minor fitting but I got lucky. These have become my favorite slide stop. The thicker pin makes a difference as it fills up the link a hair more than usual so the lockup and smoothness improve

Outstanding 1911 Slide Stop!
After my ninth (9th) Gen 2 Slide Stop purchase from 10-8 Performance, I can say that these the best 1911 slide stops on the market. Perfect fit and function on each 1911 I've installed them in (9mm and .45ACP/10mm; Gov't and Cmdr lengths), and the extended ledge and milled relief on each greatly improve the operation and reassembly of my 1911's. BRAVO ZULU on a product well done!

Slide stop Gen 2
Great fit, works better than the original, well worth the money, I will be buying another one for my 1911 parts kit.

Slide release for Prodigy
Very nice part that is well machined and finished. This fit my frame holes and link without issue, however I did need to elongate the link hole slightly to allow the pin to slide up on the lugs. Shoots great, easier to engage and I no longer wonder if the MIM part was made "good" or not

10-8 Performance Slide Stop
Extremely well made. The slide stop fit perfectly in my 1911 build. Very happy with the slightly wider ledge. I’m also a big fan of 10-8 Performance flat 1911 triggers I have them in two of my 1911s

Slide stop
I like this slide stop, and I use them on many of my 1911's. I have also bought a frag mainspring housing and both products are quality pieces
