Rosco,
I disagree.
After all, very few 1911's, even custom ones have a detented slide stop.
Many 1911's have slide stops that can be pushed out inadvertently becaue of wear on the top of the slide stop tab.
Also, it is a bad place to put your finger in the "ready" position, as Hackathorn
claims to have seen many malfs in training classes from that.
It is also the place most people lay their index finger when clearing a malfunction.
Under stress, it can induce a lock-up if the pin is pushed out, yadda yadda.
Cosmetically, I like it. I also like the other pins flattened as well. A little bit cleaner in my estimation.
no one ever needed a "speed takedown" of their 1911. This is another little mod that in my opinion sets the masters apart from some of the other pistolsmiths.
But hey, to each his own.
