1911 parts...

The slide stop may or may not be caliber specific. Awhile back I added a 9mm slide and barrel to a .45 Auto 1911 to make a convertible. "Knowing" about the difference in slide stops, I dutifully included a 9mm slide stop in the parts order. When I put it all together, I had lots of feeding problems. I put the .45 slide stop back in and the problems went away. And the slide still locked open on empty.

Later, I had a .45 1911 (a different pistol) that failed to lock open with some magazines. I put the "9mm" slide stop in that gun, and the problem was solved.

Tolerance stacking.

Another vote for Brownells, BTW.
