This happened while firing at target practice. The slide, instead of recoiling backwards, went forward almost hanging of lower. The slide lock was missing. I finally found it in the weeds. The slide stop was broken. Repair was a simple, Sarco online order. See pic for broken lock piece. Broken lock on left. |

That's not the first time a slide stop has broken, I not saying that Colt is using mim parts but some companies do. I replaced the slide stop in my ccw with a Wilson Bullet Proof which is made from bar stock. I might never have broken the oem, but on the flip side the Wilson is less likely to ever break. To me it was cheap insurance. |

Having the Colt slide stop lug break off is actually fairly common, according to Chuck Rogers. I've seen a couple myself but nowhere as many as he has.
