Hmmm. Must be a 1911 thing!

   Seems it happens from a $500 pistol to a $5000 pistol. In this one the EGW stop sounds interesting but also the way they speak of filing the stop on an angle so it catches on the inside instead of outside edge. You won't see it then... who knows what will happen though.

   So it looks like you may be able to dress things a little with a file and stone. I guess you would just need to look at the pieces and see where you can make things better in doing this.

Here is my stop and you can see where that lower corner is taking the brunt of the force where the shiny spot is:



Here you can see how it is sloped some towards that outside edge:



In looking at it the angle should be reversed and it would throw the peen towards the inside. If you make it perfectly flat over the entire surface, it would only seem to help with the point loading you see on the stop. Possibly file the outer edge of the stop in just the contact point? I will have a fresh stop with no marks to try some tests on. Should I make it flat or just take some meat off that area where the shiny spot would be again?

Boy I don't know I'm just as confused as you are. I noticed though that my slidestop on my DW-Cbob doesn't go all the way into the cutout like it should. I've heard everything from heavier springs to flat bottom stops to fitting the slidestop into the notch better. I think I'll put in a call to DW next week and see what they can do for me. I'm not very mechanically inclined and tend to break stuff when trying to fix stuff.

  I looked at my Match and Hunter today which have thousands of high end 10mm rounds. Both look like new in that area although the design is a little different without a sharp corner! I wonder if that is the big problem here the almost flat corner?

It is interesting how sometimes small differences can make a noticeable difference in another aspect.

I would think the peening could be alleviated by filing the angle on the slide stop to match the angle in the slide.

I will have to look at my P16 tonight.

I have to send the broken one in and they will replace.

I shoot all of them but today was Underwood 1300.

Interesting. SF 200gr XTP @ 1300 fps broke a Greider stop? Interesting.

Stock firing pin stop plate? Stock recoil spring?

I think this piece was a fluke.  Stock block and 20lb Wolff spring.

The new one arrived today. It appears a little more flat than angled in that contact area:
