almost perfect

Put this in a new Taurus 1911 that had a lot of slop between the frame slide stop hole and the slide stop pin. I measured the hole with a small hole gauge and micrometer, so I knew the .200" pin would fit. It dropped right into my pistol. I did have to lightly file in order to get it off and on the plunger pin. The gun functions fine after installation.

Not Drop In

The quality of the slide stop is typical EGW but these are not drop in. You will have to file your barrel feet to make them fit.
