I discovered today that my new "E" already has a beveled stop. No need to modify, snaps right in. Also I found that 10-8 sells then with the bevel already there too. They are not cheap but the quality is probably there.

Log Man-
You are to be commended for all of the finish damage you have prevented to 1911's! My SA Loaded was the worst kind of uncooperative, stubborn PITA to put back together when it came to the SS, never was able to do it without tiny screwdriver or knife blade to depress the plunger...not being the three handed kind of freak I slipped once on the second fracking reassembly...knowing all along that there had to be a better way and they aren't supposed to be like this...  Least it's not going to get any worse! One would think that more manufacturers would do this if they were proud of their finishes...

Home Depot has a couple of nice sets of needle files in the $8.00 range that are great. I used the round file to do this mod on another 1911 . I started with a small triangle file to mark the location and to keep the round file from walking.

Thx LogMan.
So though I'm not a member of the "Idiot" Club, i decided to keep from becoming one that I would try out the "LogMan" Mod. What a relief. I practiced on the stock SS that came with my Loaded and once I did it to that I performed the surgery on my extended SS that is on my 1911 now. What a smooth fix bud. Im what you call OCD with my firearms. Soooo much so I rearranged the letters to CDO so theyd be in order hahaha. Just kiddin. Anywhoo-THX A BUNCH LOGMAN.
To anyone contemplating the skill needed to do this mod-I just went to my local hobby shop & bought a set of needle files for $9.- and used the triangle to start then I used the round one like te prior poster did and I usually never modify anything (Thats what my Gunsmith is for---I dont build 'em:I jsut buy 'em). So the big task was gettin over tye fear of ruining a part that at most would cost me 29-39 bucks- shouldnt have a nice firearm if i cant afford that kinda money into long term safety and precautionary upgrades n mods. Anyways. Cheers y'all. TC1

been meaning to do this on my Kimber Classic Target SS since reading this thread awhile ago, tripped on a needle file set at walmart today (8 bucks). Five minutes on the bench and snaps right in. Thanks Logman!
Now on to figure out how to get the very faint idiot scratch out of the matte ss frame...(my doing, years ago).

One sweet easy modification. Did it to my 3 1911's and one is brandy new. Took more time to get the stops put than it did to modify them.
Thanks for a great tip

I just did this to the stop on my new Sig Target. The entire operation took 5 minutes and my nitron finish is now safe. My other guns will get this treatment next time I have them on the bench.

When you break out the files on new guns what does it do to the warranty.?

This modification to the slide stop seems very simple and effective, I usually use a flathead screwdriver or any thin metal tool to depress the plunger while inserting the slide stop.
Log Man, Would you recommend me filing the slide stop (as you have) slowly, polishing it with an abrasive cloth and just repeating this process until it pops in with ease? Seems like something I could do on my own, and I have spare slide stops in case I screw it up. Lately I've been trying to do more modifications and simple repairs on my own. Best regards and thanks for the original posting.

screwdrivers? thin metal? still too easy to slip and scratch. Try this useful trick with a light or medium weight guitar pick. Works like a dream.
