RickyH Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Slide stop broke wanting to know where to get a new one that's better than the stock ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiedras Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 AFAIK, there aren't any better ones. You just keep extras on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 yep, there isn't one. just keep some extras of the stock one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyH Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 So just buy extra stock ones and keep them? Should you replace them every so often or just wait till they break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 And are they drop in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Here is what I do, for what it's worth. Every 6 months a brand new one goes in the main gun (mg). The slide stop from the mg then rotates down to the practice gun (pg). The slide stop from the pg goes into my range bag. The one that was previously in my range bag lives there to be given to someone at a match if they break theirs or goes into a spares pile in a box at home. So yeah, at any given time I have two in guns and two out of guns. But I move them every 6 months and it's not an issue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel1 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 More interesting is why they broke. Cz slidestop killer is to release slide full spring tension on empty gun. If you escort slide on empty gun you can doudle or triple slidestop life. Now my slidestop average life is about 40-50k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyH Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 I don't drop the slide on an empty gun. But I don't know the round count either it's been 3 years and I bought the gun new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyH Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Is a 75 SP 01 the same slide stop as the shadow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 slide stops drop in. the only thing some do to them are relieve the end of the arm that is activated by the follower to clear long ammo. pictures of this lots of places. A Shadow one is different than a 75 one, yes. The Shadow/SP01 slide stop is wider and longer. Many people who shoot Production choose to run the RAMI silde stop. It is thinner, smaller and weighs less and if you're doing it right you never do a slide lock reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke one at SAPSA earlier this year when I was still shooting the CZ. I would definitely suggest having a back up. You're welcome to borrow my slide stop for next weekend if you don't have a chance to order a new one in time. Just let me know. Mine is from a regular Sp-01 but my understanding is it will work in a Shadow. Rowdy can probably clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 yes it will fit and work just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 i keep a separate match slidestop. Eventually the practice one will break, and the match one will be the practice one, and I'll buy a new one for matches. But I have only ever broken one.
