Slide Stop Mod

[copter_dad]

Could someone please post pics of low profile slide stop mods they have done? I recently purchased a P380 and I hate the big, clunky slide stop on an otherwise refined weapon. Looks like a wart on a cover girls nose. I found on old post but most of the pics had been removed by the pic host. Thanks!!

maybe someone will post jocko's customPMJ9 it shows his dremel modified slide stop lever. U can do this mod very easily and u can contour it to ur desire. The worst u can do is ruin a slide stop and $25 gets u back in busness, The best u can do is a nice job and ur happy with it. I also on my pMJ9 coutoured and reduced that protruding side stop on that come sout on the right side to be flush with the gun. Alittle cold blue and it is as blackas it was before I did the mod.

Odd, I can mod my slide stop lever but I can't post photos for jack sh!t, so someone willbe along here real fast to help you out. We have somne supere good guys here..

If we could leave Nancy Pelosi out of this conversation please!!!!

I've thinned the slide stops on one of my PM45's and on my PM9. More lke rounded them a bunch up front where the pin pivots, in order to make a smooth transition to holster or pocket. The back edge got rounded a little too. The actual thickness didn't get cut a whole bunch, and the top edge remained square and sharp - to get a good edge to manipulate it for closeure.

I'll have to go check and see if I've got pics.....

Thanks CJB. I have to use 2 arthritic thumbs to manipulate the slide stop anyway, so I want to thin it up some too.

I want to thin it down to the pin that locks the slide stop to the take down pin. Has anyone done this?

[jocko]

u did a neat job CJB, mine is not that neat, although it is alot smaller even. I did not get into trying to actually make the lever thinner, as I did n't want to get into that pin area or to loose some of the lever groves ..

Any more pictures, please?
