Just put an Ed Brown in a Kimber last night and saw what you are describing. This particualr pistol will operate from overhand release, but it's verrry close...we'll see how it works.

I'd go with a Wilson for yours - I have the Bulletproof in a couple guns and like them - unfortunately they're twice the price of the regular Wilson slide stop - don't know if they're twice as good

Bradd - excellent! - gonna test the Ed Brown on a Kimber today...

The Brown worked fine in the Kimber yesterday...engagement with the overhand release is not much however...

It was the regular Brown, not a Hardcore.

Like you said, the slot on Kimbers is wide, and this Brown is just barely long enough to contact the release bevel - I'd be more comfortable if it had more beef...

Installed it in a friend's new Kimber - the "McKimber" slide stop was out of spec and causing some serious double feeds - I fixed the original, but recommended he put in a quality part and keep the old for a spare. The Brown checkered matched the original in looks and he went with it over a Wilson.

BTW, did you get the standard stainless Wilson or go with the bulletproof?
