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.

10-8 Slide Stop
I purchased the Gen 2 Slide Stop for my SA Operator because I just didn't like the performance of the OEM mim part. The 10-8 Slide stop dropped right in with no fitting required. Lockup is much tighter and Slide stop functions flawlessly

1911 slide lock
Well no surprises as usual perfect fit(as in drop in)for my Dan Wesson Vigil. Matches well with my finish. Great upgrade or replacement part.In fairness to DW this replacement part was not necessary as it turns out this was a pilot induced error. That said I can always use a back up quality part. Thanks Hilton, love your hotels man!

10-8 Performance 1911 Slide Stop
The 10-8 Performance 1911 Slide Stop looks at least as good as any competing product, and works just fine. But what sets it apart is its chamfered tip, which enables the 1911 Snob we all aspire to be, to AVOID the dread "Idiot Mark" - the bright arc indelibly scratched into the frame when a fat-fingered 1911 owner slips when attempting to install his pistol's slide stop. That mark is nearly impossible to remove, short of re-facing and completely refinishing the left side of the frame. With ordinary coordination, the "Idiot Mark" is avoided when installing the 10-8 Slide Stop by pushing it straight in, past the detent pin and spring (which are shifted out of the way by the special chamfer on the 10-8 Slide Stop).

Perfect Drop In For My SA RO Elite
This stop dropped right in on my Springfield Armory Range Officer Elite 9mm. Locks up tight and works great.

Slide lock
Wing that the 10-8 performance is a tenth wider and pin is longer Lock up is stiffer hence taking away any play in the lock up Product works as expected

Slide stop
Perfect! Angles are properly cut, great machining, good quality item. Really like the diameter of the pin which is better suited to most frames and helps enhance barrel fit.

Slide Stop, Gne 2
I, like many other owners of the Springfield Prodigy, did not find the OEM slide stop big enough. The Gen 2 readily addresses that and had zero adjustments needed to fit the Prodigy.

I have the 10-8 slide stop on my Springfield Prodigy and so far it works fine with no issues.
