I did a quick search and couldn’t find this question, so I thought I would ask it here. I have a few 9mm 1911’s and would prefer an extended slide stop, to accommodate my stubby thumbs. I know there are techniques, i.e. support hand manipulation of the slide stop, that would not necessitate an equipment change, but I would prefer to keep my manual of arms consistent across the different guns I shoot.
Is there a preferred brand of extended slide stop that is more or less drop in ready? I ordered one from Fusion that said it was 9mm compatible, but the cut out for the slide to travel down the slide stop is way to short, and the slide will not reciprocate. If this is a component of the 1911 that pretty much requires a level of gunsmithing to get functional, I would like to know before I order anymore parts.
I looked at the options from Wilson Combat, and they are a little short for my liking, I would prefer an extended slide stop a bit more, extended.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
