My so bought5 it three months ago. Flawless except the slide release.He can barely get it to drop the slide.I can't even get it to do that. Is this a common problem? Sling shot the slide works.

Just pull back the slide to release.

If its like the first gen, there can be a little extra metal on the release holding things up.  Youtube it

I'm of the opinion that device is a slide lock not release.

I slingshot all my autos so it wouldn't be an issue to me.

How many rounds have you put through it? Mine was a PITA until I put about 250 rounds through it

Your opinion is correct. It's actually a slide stop.

It can be difficult as discussed in my review (below); especially if he has small hands or is a lefty.

I'm a lefty also.  Usually sling shot but have been practicing using support hand thumb to release the slide when gripping weapon.  The 2.0 is my first semi auto pistol with ambi slide stop so thought I would try something different.  Works pretty well and keeps me on target better.  Love your videos keep them coming !!!!!!
