I have an Auto Ordnance 1911 Standard model. The slide stop on mine keeps working itself loose after about 6 rounds. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to get a slide stop & possible one with an oversized shaft/pin.

Thanks.

Gil Hebard has one with a .200" shaft for $13.50.
The same type of detent in the end that keeps the slide stop from engaging prematurely will also help retain it in the gun.

Good points as we have grown to expect from you guys

sometimes on Para's for instance, we weld a small pad under the slide stop to limit how far down it can travel. this keeps it from getting out from under the slide also.

Another option. If you're using a two-hand hold and the slide to frame fit is really loose, you could be pushing that slide stop out and not realize it. Getting a new stop wouldn't completely cure it in that case. You'd need to either lower the frame rails to move the slide lower on the frame, change your hold, or....weld a pad on the bottom of the lever to limit it's travel as George suggested. OR, maybe the tab on your slide stop is just too short and a new one would solve the problem.
