sbpt1911 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Who uses the EGW firing pin stop on there Single stack 1911 competition guns? What springs(recoil/main) do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 If you mean the oversized EGW firing pin stop then yes I have one installed in my 45. I also put a radius on the square part to speed the slide up. I use a 14lb recoil spring and a 19lb mainspring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussB Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I have fit EGW stop plates to 3 of my 1911's. The two Kimber 45's use a 14# recoil spring with a 23# mainspring. There is a small (.015") radius on the lower edge of the stops. My 38 Super runs either an 11 or 12# recoil spring and a 23# mainspring. The plate has a 1/8" radius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickB Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I have them in all of my 1911s. In general, the shorter the barrel, the greater the radius. I have 23/14 springing in my 5" and 6" .45s, 23/11 in my (minor) .38 Super, and 25/20 in my 10mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Schwab Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have EGW's FP stop in almost all of my 1911's. As another data point I, I use a 14 lb recoil spring and 17 or 19 lb mainspring in my 40 cal singlestack; that gun has a 10mm barrel fitted as well so there's no additional radius on the stop.
