The pistol is the dirtiest pistol I have ever bought (gunbroker) but cleaning it was fun. The slide catch doesn't work well and I was wondering would an ed brown or other brownell's product be a suitable replacement? The magazines and user error aren't the problem, in case ya'll go there:D... The slide stop from my Kimber fits fine and is fully functional with all of my magazines so I figured a drop in for a kimber would drop in the SA. Here's the pictures.    I don't know why gun magazines take pictures of this part of a 1911 with the hammer cocked but here's mine...  Holster wear and scuz from crappy hogue wrap-arounds sealing dirt in for 3 years  Who's logo is this? Old chip mccormick? I got one of these at a gunshow in a box of GI mags for cheap, and the gun came with a stainless one.  |

)
| My thinking is that the slide stop is the issue. I took the 'lip' of the back side of the "tooth" (?) that catches in the slide and now it will lock back with two USGI mags I've never used and a CMI 10rd and my new CMI shooting star (but it won't feed HPs from it) Fudgecicles. |
