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**

10-8 slide stop
Swapped the .196” slide stop on a Springfield mil-spec with the 10-8 .200” slide stop. Relieved the barrel link slide stop pin hole as demonstrated in his 1911 Duty Tune DVD. That alone smoothed out the slide cycle / lock up like magic! The flat, wide paddle is very positive. No need for the plunger pin relief cut on the slide stop, Hilton’s designed the angle into the part. Lock back has been 100%. Highly recommend.

Slide stop
This product fit perfectly in my hand built commander 1911. It was one of the last personally picked parts to complete the build. It has a slightly wider shelf to disengage and release the slide to load a round in the chamber. The texture and shape is perfect for me. I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

10-8 1911 slide stop
The slide stop is another high quality part from 10-8 Performance. The angle and corner of the front part makes contact with my support side thumb when I establish a grip. Doesn't work for me but it should with someone that doesn't use my type of shooting grip.

10-8 Gen 2 Slide Stop
Just like ALL 10-8 products, the Gen 2 Slide Stop is executed perfectly in design and performance. I have used 10-8 products since they started up as a company and they never disappoint. I was running into issues with the factory Colt slide stop in my 9mm 1911 Government Model in which I was getting intermittment fail to lock the slide back on Colt magazines. I watched Hilton's 1911 video and heard his explanation on how the 10-8 Slide Stopwas designed and why it was better than a factory stop. So instead of hacking up the factory stop and most likely making the situation worse, I ordered the 10-8 stop. Fixed the issue immediately with no mods made by me! Hilton's experience really shows through the design input of his products. I have been and will be a lifelong customer of 10-8 Performance!

1911 45ACP - Slide Stop, Gen 2
Fits perfectly on my Springfield 1911 .45ACP. High quality part and much easier to press down than the stock slide release. Must have upgrade!
-
Good design
This product was very well thought out all of the edges are cut at a radius so there’s Less chance of fracturing. There was enough material for me to cut the tab down a little bit. I don’t like things to extend out to far out on my pistols

Outstanding product
Improves look of pistol especially with the EGW thumb safety. Did require fitting to install but after 5 mins filing in the right spots it works flawless.
