can anyone direct me to a distributor of slide stops w/dimple?
my operator's slide stop doesn't have the dimple and cannot be slingshotted closed; it(slide stop) must be dropped. my trp is this same way, however, it has an extended stop so it's made to be dropped, i guess!
my champion has the dimple and can be slingshot.
i have a couple more but have not checked them.
i will be checking w/SA as i'm thinking of some other work to be done as well.
thanks

I don't think the problem is the slide stop, and even if it were, the dimple wouldn't help.  Are you attempting to slingshot on an empty mag?

The slide should cam the slide stop down when it's pulled back.   Either you have a shock-buff in the gun that's keeping the slide from traveling back far enough, or something is putting upward tension on the slide stop.

there Was a buff in the house-but not any more.
