Firing Pin, .093''

The Firing Pin, .093'' from EGW (MPN 10070) is a precision replacement component engineered for competitive shooters, gunsmiths, and 1911 platform enthusiasts who demand reliable ignition. Whether you're maintaining a duty-grade 1911, tuning a competition build, or repairing a vintage Commander model, a quality firing pin is fundamental to consistent, safe operation. This .093'' diameter pin is manufactured to exact tolerances and serves as a critical link in the firing chain—directly impacting primer strike consistency and overall reliability.

EGW's .093'' firing pin is precision-machined from hardened steel to withstand thousands of firing cycles without deformation or breakage. The tight .093'' diameter specification ensures proper fit within 1911 firing pin bushings across multiple caliber platforms—including .38/.357, 9mm, .40/10mm, and .45 ACP configurations. At just 0.02 lbs, the pin's minimal mass delivers positive, controlled primer strikes while maintaining the optimal inertia characteristics that the 1911 platform demands. This design prevents light strikes that cause misfires and avoids excessive impact that could damage firing pin channels or primers.

This firing pin is ideal for gunsmiths rebuilding or refreshing 1911s—including both standard Government and Commander variants—and for shooters experiencing unreliable ignition. Installation requires a firing pin stop or bushing tool and takes minutes on a properly maintained firearm. Compatibility spans multiple calibers (AAR .38/357, AAT 9mm, AAW .40/10mm, BBC .45) because the pin diameter remains constant; only the bushing and stop dimensions vary by caliber. Keep a spare on hand for competition or duty use; EGW pins are known for longevity and consistent performance across thousands of rounds.
