1911 extended slide release

[zouave]

Looking for a extended slide release for my 1911 in western canada. I have found a few but too high a price. May have to check out the next show in Calgary, but if anyone has one for sale let me know. Thanks for any help.

Zouave.

Cool.... a WTB parts EE on the pistols & revolvers discussion page....

My IPSC gun had one and it drove me nuts. Because I would be pressing down on it without knowing or intending to do it, the slide wouldn't lock back on the last round. I had a few situations in the heat of a stage where I would run the gun dry and not realize it as a result, and lose time dry firing, then changing mags, then having to fully rack the slide... what a pain! To each their own I guess.

I never had the issue that Ed was typing about just I don't use it on any pistol now I rack it works %100 of the time,and keeps all things simple

extended slide stops...

Notice I called it by it's correct name....

Anyway, unless you have midget hands they are pretty much useless.

I always swap them out on 1911's acquired that happen to come with for a standard one. Like the NP-29 and the new Norc 1911A1 'enhanced' model I recently got from Can-Am. John Browning had it right with his original design...
