Wilson Combat
For shooters who find it difficult to hit the standard-size slide stop, our blued semi-extended and fully machined Bullet Proof® slide stop is designed especially for them.
If you struggle to hit the traditional sized slide stop, then our semi-extended and fully machined Bullet Proof® slide stop is designed just for you! Crafted with precision machinery, this will be a game-changer in your shooting experience. This extended lever design makes it easy to press during tense moments or when wearing gloves. It is just as wide as the original bullet proof model, meaning that this new version can be used in competitions and hard use tactical 1911 handguns. The built-in detent ensures an easier installation while the serrated top makes it easy to activate and disengage. Additionally, its maximum tolerance body helps reduce wear and improves long-term reliability. Trust your firearm to this rugged slide stop and you will not be disappointed.
When it comes to high-performance handguns, Wilson Combat® Bullet Proof® parts are unrivaled in terms of quality, craftsmanship and cost. Each component is skillfully CNC machined from solid steel billet for a precise and perfect fit; castings or substandard imported injection molded parts will never use the Bullet Proof® name. Invest in Bullet Proof® parts with full assurance they are free of any defects or breakage - a guarantee that can't be beaten! We offer the strongest warranty and highest quality parts in the industry.
NOTE: Wilson Combat 1911 small parts may require minor fitting and should only be installed by a qualified gunsmith. Although these parts are intended to be drop-in, due to the range of tolerances between various manufacturers' handguns, some fitting may occasionally be necessary. We highly recommend all fitting/installation of small parts is done by a professional gunsmith.
Minor sanding required to fit the hole in the frame, and move freely. I also removed some of the extension to clear the grip module. There is plenty left to operate the slide stop the way I was hoping to use it.
I have the Bullet Proof semi-extended in 2 of my 3 1911s. One dropped in, the other required fitting. Both function great, and in combination with thin grips and an extended mag release allow true one handed manipulation for my stumpy, arthritic fingers. It isn't just a reach thing either, it also changes the leverage point making it much easier to drop the slide. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best part Wilson makes. If you have average sized hand or arthritis these are an absolute must.
Wilson has done it again for me. The OEM slide lock would not go back in without the use of a credit card or flat head screw driver-terrible engineering. The Wilson slide lock pops in with no problem after a couple to attempts. Next on the list is the abmie safety when I get a little cash in hand. Love Wilson Combat!
I found that this slide release had a slight step in its shaft diameter just under the lever, preventing full insertion into the frame of my SA EMP pistol. Not noticeable until I put a caliper on it in two places and measured the difference. Since I did not want to enlarge the hole in my pistols frame, I carefully and slowly used a fine file to reduce the shaft diameter below the lever until it went all the way into the frame hole smoothly. After that, it worked perfectly.
Perfect fit in my Springfield Armory 5 inch 9mm Range Officer. Makes working the slide effortless!
