I have one of their full size 1911 pistols and the slide stop pin works itself out when firing, any idea on what is causing this?  I would guess the hole in the frame is worn or the pin is worn but haven't found any information on sizing for either.

I brought it to a lgs they say that they have an in house smith. He said they would attempt fixing it by making the hole the pin goes through smaller by hitting the frame with a punch I quickly grabbed my pistol and left their establishment.

My bet would be on the detent and spring need to be replaced.

I believe that spring is supposed to have a 'kink' in it ...........

here's a link to more info:

I MIGHT,MAYBE,SOMEWHERE have the correct tool (a special drill bit) to deepen the hole in the slide stop.Let me know and I'll try to round that up and loan it to you.

I'm guessing you meant the spring shouldn't have a kink in it, please correct me if I am wrong.  I think that is just an image that EmergencyEscape posted as a reference.  I will try replacing the spring first and see how that goes.  If the problem still persists I might take you up on the drill bit solution.

The 1911 plunger spring usually has a kink in it, but that's more to keep the spring from shooting out of the plunger tube than anything else.  It will work fine with or without the kink.
