Here's a multi-view picture of my new Extreme Service firing pin stop. It's CNC'd from tool steel, hardened to spec, and made .482" wide so it can be fitted to your slide and extractor. It has a 3/64" radius machined on the bottom rear corner and a 3 degree angle at the top rear face, both of which act to take away mechanical advantage from the slide when it's cocking the hammer, by moving the contact point to the bottom of the hammer face. This will retard the initial movement of the slide, slowing it's speed a little. This will allow short length 1911s to has less imbalance between the slide's speed and the magazine spring's force on the last couple of rounds, reducing the bolt over base malfunction caused by the slide outrunning the magazine spring. It also softens the felt recoil even on full size 1911s. This first run is configured for .45 cal Series '70 Gov't Models in carbon steel. All popular configurations will be run shortly. So whaddya think?

I'm liking them John. The 3 degree angle is a particularly cool idea. 8)

It's the details, the itty bitty details that make the gun a work of Art.
