You can do it yourself with a file if you want to modify your slide stop. Here’s a link to the 1911 forum with some photos of the mod.

No pictures in that link, but I know there are supposed to be good videos. I may eventually try it myself or call Springfield and see if they can send me a better slide stop that has the correct groove in it.
Thanks

its not a real bad mark anyway, he'll I got more finish rubbed off from my holster, but it is my carry, it's not a presentation piece. Tc


But a little file work and Emory and walaa.

Primarily Norwegian moose, and if I go back up to Svalbard, polar bear protection. Hopefully hunting trips to Alaska and Africa in a few years.

Wilson’s bullet proof slide releases have the detent in them, a little pricey but extremely good parts.

Yeah, I would DEFINITELY prefer getting mine fixed. I really don't want to pay $60 to replace a brand new part. Thanks for the link.

I wish I could modify the back of the slide stop so that it will snap in the way it should (have to hold the little pin spring down with something really thin for it to go in the way it should. I would send it to someone, but one guy told me a gunsmith would probably charge $50. If I do it myself I'm worried I'll screw it up worse.

I charge $25, if that's all to be done. For guns I do other work on, I always ask if they want it done. Then I'll do it for no charge.
