    Idiot scratch protectant plastic tool

    I am new in a 1911 flatform handgun. I just recently acquired a SA Trophy Match 1911 and will be going to the range this Saturday. I am looking for this tool just to be on a safe side before I take down and clean. anybody knows where to get them or any tips and tricks on this procedure.

          This is a modification I do on just about all slide stops as it allows easy installation and doesn't affect function. It is easily done with a needle file. To install, the slide stop is positioned directly on top of the plunger and you can feel it saddle over it and push it straight in. Bingo...


          How to modify the slide release.

                    Make sure you are careful enough not to overshoot the plunger...otherwise you'll put a nice big arc shapped scratch on your slide

                          Good luck! If you ever put that mark, you are not an idiot, just the mark itself is And yes, you made it yours after that.

                          Kidding aside, you will probably use that tool during the first few times only. After that, you will get the hang of it.

                          Enjoy your Trophy Match. Fine gun!

                            I just used blue painters tape until I felt comfortable enough to do it w/o it.

                              A small piece of black electrical tape will work. That is a nice pistol as a 'starter' 1911.
