I'm researching slide stops to complete my blued over stainless project and I'm seeing controversy like never before.
One camp says they are the devil and the weight of the extension tips the seesaw the wrong way and my gun wont consistently hold open after last round. Then other knowledgeable people say that its a must have for a fighting mans gun. My "Killin Gun" (Very early series 1 Kimber) doesn't have one and I've never missed not having it. Do I need one? |

I think old Bill knows his way around a 1911. I don't recall ever seeing one on any of Bill's pistols...offering a part is one thing, using another... |

The extended slide stop is one part he's supposedly admitted that he won't use, but will sell because "people still want them." |

In one of his books, Wilson said that the only thing more worthless than an extended slide stop was an ambidextrous extended slide stop. |

OK I'm sold! Now I need one! Didn't someone around here have a pile of used ones for sale? 
"Daddy? how do I look in this outfit?" "You look great sweetheart, very cool" <Runs upstairs to change> I can't see how in the world you could have been sold on one of those pieces of crap based on this thread. |

Look at the predominant advice in this thread. (I bought in to what you were trying to tell me)
Or better yet let me rephrase it for you. OK my brothers. You have enlightened me, pulled the veil of ignorance from my eyes and set me down the path of righteousness. Where might I obtain by trade or barter a battle tested example of this most basic of devices? Did not one of ye recently proclaim ownership and express a desire to engage in commerce? |
