1911 FIRING PIN

1911 FIRING PIN Reviews & Ratings

Tough, durable firing pins are precision machined from extra-hard stainless steel to fit in the slide with .001' clearance to help eliminate “primer flow” with hot loads. Helps prevent jams and misfires caused by the primer backing out. Available in three diameters; select the diameter that provides just enough clearance through the hole in the firing pin stop of your gun. Fit may vary; measure your gun to be sure you select the correct size pin. SPECS: Stainless steel. Available in .068”, .075”, and .093” diameters.


.068 normally fits Colt and Caspian 9mm/.38 Super/.40/10mm.

.075 fits Springfield Armory 9mm/.38 Super/10mm/current-production .45 ACP

.093 fits most .45 ACP, including older-production Springfield.
