Wilson Combat Series 80 Firing Pin Stop for Government Frame, Steel

The Wilson Combat Steel Series 80 Firing Pin Stop for the full-size Government 1911 frame (Wilson Combat part no. 399B-80) is sized for pistols built on the Series 80 fire control system, which uses a firing pin safety block operated by the trigger. Wilson Combat is one of the most respected names in match-grade 1911 pistolsmithing, and the firing pin stop is the small plate at the rear of the slide that retains the firing pin and its spring while also serving as the hammer’s striking surface in Series 80-pattern pistols. This version is machined from steel for the Government frame.

Key Specifications

• Built for the Series 80 fire control system, which uses a trigger-operated firing pin safety block.
• Sized for the Government frame, the full-size 5-inch-barrel 1911 platform.
• Machined from steel for durability under repeated hammer strikes.
• As the firing pin stop, it retains the firing pin and spring while serving as the hammer’s striking surface.
• Fitting the correct Series 80-specific stop is essential, since a mismatched part can affect how the firing pin safety block engages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Series 70 and Series 80? Series 80 pistols use a trigger-operated firing pin safety block that requires a Series 80-specific firing pin stop and related parts; Series 70 pistols lack that block and use a different firing pin stop.

Will a Series 70 firing pin stop work on a Series 80 pistol? No, the two systems use different internal parts, so a Series 80 pistol needs a Series 80-pattern firing pin stop like this one.
