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.
Stainless Steel version has matte bead blast finish.

Perfect out of the box
Installed on a Colt Gov’t. The 200 thou pin is perfect, didn’t have to modify barrel lug and functioned perfect out of the box. As usual, the side that faces the frame, it’s always a good idea to break the edges so it doesn’t scuff up the frame. The ledge is perfectly contoured for hand release of the slide.

Slide Release on Prodigy
Great replacement slide release for my Prodigy. Took .001 or so off it, and it worked fine, with slightly tighter lockup. Piece itself offers a little more surface area for folks to release the slide with.

Slide Stop
Slide stop appears to be High quality compared to a lot of them on the market with the easy install no scratch notch . I am using on a Jem 2011 frame with Caspian slide, it did need a little file radius work on the bottom where it meets the cut out in the frame to not catch on the take down notch on the slide. i am building from scratch and will cerakote so not a problem.Will for sure buy again on my next break the bank build. I am almost certain i need to join a 2011 support group so i can stop. Thanks 10-8 for the quality!

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).
