Unhappy
Drops in easy enough. However I have filed as much as I would consider safe for function reasons. It fails to lock the slide in the open position after last round fired. As I said I did have to do some fitting work with jewelers files but to no avail. Perhaps it is not meant for SIG Sauer 1911's?
Doesnt fit a Ruger SR1911
Doesnt fit without filing it down, and the finish is worse than a Pittsburgh socket from a pawnshop. They say its Blued but its like cheap stove paint
The slide pin broke in half :(
I bought this product on Black Friday and I was excited to put on to my gun when you arrive if it fine but when I was pulling it out to clean my 1911 the sly pin broke in half. Upon investigating the pin the metal inside was Sultan that you can bend it with your fingers I dont know if this is a defect in the product but I am not happy with it
manufacturing defect
I had read that the post would break on these. I see now this is true. The post is hollow in the last third. Won't hold up past 21` rounds ball ammo. Should be recalled. This can damage a gun. Did not damage mine as it fell apart when I disassembled the gun for cleaning after 21 rounds test firing after installation.
So DISAPPOINTED!!!!!
I bought this when I was building my competition pistol. At first I was happy with it's drop in ease and what seemed to be "great fit and finish". Unfortunately after only two weeks of use the finish had all but worn off. Shortly after that the part wore to the point that it was causing function issues (it was backing it's self out during firing causing the slide to lock up about half way back) After removing it and a bit of stoning the problem was solved. Or so I thought! Unfortunately after that the extended portion of the part broke off wile I was wiping it down with a rag! This part is junk and unfortunately I had issues with every other Wilson part I have purchased in the last year! I have since removed every single Wilson part I had on my pistol and have never had another problem. I will never purchase a single part from Wilson combat again! All this happened in less than 2000 rounds worth of use!
Great Design- Poor Quality
I have three Kimber 1911's and all of them have this slide stop on them. I haven't run 200 rounds through my CDP II yet and this slide stop broke where it extends from the body of it. Please start making these out of bar stock. I loved it while it lasted. Now i need to replace the other two. The "Bulletproof" model is so small, it is hard to release the slide with it. Back to OEM.
Junk Casting
You can see the casting marks in the picture! The paddles tend to snap off on these if you actually shoot the gun much. I Started using the john mason extended slide stop which is rougher but at least they are more durable. Wish Brown would make an extended slide stop.
Don't buy would not fit any of my 1911s
Even after a little fileing it still would not fit flush to the slide ,tryed my oldest 1911 that had thousands of rounds threw it .I should of listend to the reviews hope I can get my money refunded.

The catch was bent out of the box and did not fit well in my Para GI expert. With some fitting I was able to make it functional. On the 4th slide release, the thumb pad broke! I ground off the thumb pad and now use it on a .45 plinker.
Garbage
Rubbish MIM part of very low quality, the MIM information should be provide in the item's description. The extension broke off after less than 500 rounds.
