I picked up a very nice used 22 that came with a LaserMax sight system in it. Well I sold the laser and ordered a new guide, spring , slide lock spring and slide lock because I let the LaserMax parts go with the laser. My question is with the slide lock itself. There seems to be a slight difference between the two sides, (one is bent on the top) I need to know which side goes which way. Sorry if this is not clear but Im sure you Glock fans know what Im tring to say. Thanks

I think you are referring to the slight deformation due to it being a stamped part. I don't think it matters which way around it goes, but I can't check until I get home today... I'm sure someone else will chime in..

The side with the "edge" goes up, "edge" facing rearward.  This is the end that mates up with the forwardmost barrel lug.

The "..stamped part." is the Slide Stop Lever, not the Slide Lock.  As is correctly stated above, the Slide Lock is the part with 'tabs' sticking out on each side of the frame.  The 'claw' edge is up facing the rear.
