Does anyone know what this might be? My guess is some sort of antrodiaetidae. Also, I will get some pictures of his eyes tomorrow when the lighting is better.

I found him under a rock in BC.

Your guess seems to be right. Based on the distribution I'd say Antrodiaetus pacificus.

Thank you!
Also, I forgot to ask what the little “stinger” looking thing is that I circled is. Does anyone know?

looks like an emboli, mature male sex organ, but they can very a lot across spiders and idk anything about these guys so you should get a second opinion

Probably a mature male. How many inches is it ? Looks big .
I don’t have him anymore although I would guess he was around one inch including the legs. maybe larger...
There was another one my sister found earlier today as well that some sort of “wasp” was eating... She was dead by the time I found her although, since her body was still mostly unharmed I preserved her in some alcohol. She is much larger too.
