warpspeed Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) I put a dimple in my slide stop so that it is not pushed up and activated so easily. It now functions perfectly. You can also file off a bit of the part that is pushed up by the follower so that the shelf doesn't engage it so soon.

DrLove Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 So I've never understood why do I need that. If I'm waiting on a reload until the last round I'm doing something wrong to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cecil Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Well then itS your fault it wwon't lock that's why you alter them. So its not the companies fault well, I called Grams..spoke to Bevan... I wanted my pistol to lock back when it was empty.. not with one round left in the mag.. kinda a mute point to buy followers that will increase mag capacity.. and leave one left in the mag isn't it ?????????????? my STI followers did lock back when empty.... and from now on... i'll stick to STI.... and STI is considerable less in cost..

factorysponsered Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Modify your slide stop according to brazos instructions, both my STI's would premature slide lock with one round in the mags(round hitting the tang you file/dremel off) Havent had any issues since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
