The Ed Brown #825 is a drop-in replacement firing pin built for 1911 shooters who want consistent ignition every single time. Stock factory pins have a reputation for going soft or snapping at the worst moment, and this one is machined from heat-treated tool steel to take a beating and keep going. It's tuned to the proper weight so it ignites cleanly even when you're running heavy-duty firing pin springs or stubborn hard primers, which is exactly what you want in a defensive or competition gun.
This is the oversize .065 diameter pin, and that detail matters. It's the correct firing pin for Ed Brown, Les Baer, and newer Caspian slides chambered in 9mm, .38 Super, and 10mm. The larger diameter spreads the strike across the primer and holds up to high-pressure loads better than an undersized standard pin would. Ed Brown actually points out that they're the only maker producing the correct size pin for these oversize slides, so if you've got one of those guns, this is the part you've been looking for.
It'll also work across all 1911-type pistols running either Series 70 or Series 80 fire control systems, so it's a versatile pin to keep on the bench. If you're not totally sure which one fits your gun, the easy check is to measure the diameter right near the tip where it meets the primer and match it to the spec. A quick reminder: this is not the right pin for Springfield 9mm and .38 Super slides, which use the larger .075 diameter #826 instead.
This is a great upgrade for anyone building out a match 1911, refreshing a carry gun, or just wanting a more dependable pin than what came from the factory. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable detail-stripping a 1911 slide. Best of all, Ed Brown stands behind it with a lifetime guarantee against breakage, which tells you everything about how much faith they have in the steel.
The #825 is the .065 diameter oversize pin made for Ed Brown, Les Baer, and newer Caspian slides in 9mm, .38 Super, and 10mm. It also works in 1911-type pistols with either Series 70 or Series 80 fire control systems. If you're unsure, measure the diameter at the tip where the pin strikes the primer and compare it to the spec.
The #825 is the .065 diameter pin for Ed Brown, Baer, and Caspian slides, while the #826 is the larger .075 diameter pin made specifically for Springfield 9mm and .38 Super slides. They are not interchangeable, so the right choice comes down to which slide you have. When in doubt, measure your old pin near the tip before ordering.
Factory firing pins are often soft and prone to failure over time. This one is precision-turned from heat-treated tool steel and weighted for positive ignition, even when paired with heavy-duty firing pin springs or hard primers. That reliability matters most in carry and competition guns where a light strike is not an option.
Not really. Swapping a 1911 firing pin is a basic detail-strip job that most owners can handle at home with the slide off the gun. If you're not comfortable disassembling your slide, a gunsmith can drop it in quickly.
Yes. Ed Brown backs the #825 with a lifetime guarantee against breakage. That speaks to the quality of the heat-treated tool steel and the confidence they have in the part holding up to hard use.
