Has anybody ordered the detective slide for your HP or clone?  If so, any problems?

I didn't order the slide only, I bought the whole detective gun.  And I haven't had any problems with it at all.  Other than trying to find grips I liked better than the plastic ones for a reasonable price.

Mine's only got about 700 rounds through it though, it's not a primary use piece at all right now.

May I ask you when, where and how much you paid for your detective?

The only issue I've heard about is in regards to the recoil spring.

Supposedly, the Detective recoil spring has a fairly short life compared to the standard spring and getting a FM factory replacement is all but impossible.

There have been reports that a spring from a CZ is an excellent substitute.

I picked it up about two years ago from Buds Gun Shop online, IIRC I paid less than 280 with shipping/taxes/FFL fees etc.
