Just picked up my new TRP (.45cal) and got it home to inspect it.  I disassembled it and brother is everything tight!  After getting it all cleaned up, oiled,etc. I tried reassembling it.  I could not get the darned slide stop in!  I spent a bunch of time trying and trying.  I've had countless 1911A1s (and still do) and have never had this problem before.  I finally got a center punch, lined it up under the slide stop and pressed against the ball in the plunger tube, pushed and the slide stop popped right in!  Never seen that before.  Haven't got to shoot it yet but looking forward to it.

i had a s&w 1911 you could practically throw the slide stop in. I've had 3 springfields and every one of them has been super tight getting the slide stop in. A 10-8 tool is a helpful cheater.  Once upon a time i saw a video from a Les Baer builder that showed a good way to do it. i cant seem to find it now though.

Both of mine are like that.  Google "logman slide stop modification"

Mine is the same.  I bought it new about 14 months ago and have put approximately 2300 rounds through it.  I still need to use a small tool to push the ball back.

This. A couple minutes with a file will solve this problem forever.
