| Wanting to swap out the slide stop on my RIA tac with a stainless or polished version. Im not sure what size I need though. I took a set of calipers to it and it measures .197 I measured the OD of the pin that goes thru the frame. Am I measuring correctly? And what do I need to be looking for when finding a replacement? Or am I overthinking this and pretty much any one I find will fit? Thx in advance |
| Slide stops are one of the parts least likely to need fitting on a 1911. Get one for the caliber your pistol is chambered in. The most likely problem you'll have, if there is any, is premature slide locking, or less common not locking. Not much you can do if it doesn't lock but possibly try different magazines/springs/adjust followers, if it locks early the part that protrudes into the magazine needs to be shortened or thinned, neither are difficult with a file and/or sandpaper. |
