Ahhhh, don’t all semi-auto pistols use a spring for the slide stop?
Are you a revolver or musket guy?

No slide stop spring listed for the 1911
it's a newbie question
If your 1911 was build right, you can shoot it without the slide return spring.
If it was built wrong as well, it just won't like it as much in the long run. Though I don't see you shooting thousands of rounds single shot.
The hammer spring is the only one your REALLY need.
(now I want to go out and see if I can shoot without a magazine spring (or mag release) if I hold the gun upside down)

But if you have a slide return spring installed, where would you put the recoil spring?
In the main spring housing where it belongs....where would you put the recoil spring?

You would think with a “mainspring,” you wouldn’t need other springs.
The ghost of John Moses Browning.. Duh!
Or maybe, possibly, or so I’ve heard, it’s the spring and two detents that secure it, as well as the thumb safety:
Never cared for them. Not enough springs.
I found 2 more, thanks Jeep owners who don’t rotate spares

Which is called what? A plunger spring maybe? Certainly not a slide stop spring.
I’m worn out. Fixed four sprinklers in the time you guys jerked each other off.
Some birdies from today's photo shoot. Torresian Crow, Pied Currawong, preening juvenile Apostle Birds, adult Apostle Bird, I call this one "Bowing to God".
So….
If the PLUNGER SPRING were to fail, could we then say that the slide stop could/would suffer from a weak spring and prematurely lock the slide to the rear due to recoil? Just like a weak “slide stop spring” on the Glock design pistol?

Ok enough shenanigans.
It is Sunday June 15th, Fathers Day.
Go hug yer dad or if like me and he (they including FIL) are passed…..
Remember him.
Hug yer kids, be glad for procreation and being part of it.
My dad passed when I was 19 from a long battle with cancer. I feel like I didn’t really know him that well, only how a kid knows a man. I didn’t get to know him as an adult, he didn’t see me marry, he didn’t see my daughter or my grandson.
My FIL was a good man who took me as his own. I loved William but he too is now gone.
I tried to be a good dad, still I strive for that and she is 30. I try to be an exceptional grandpa as you have seen in pictures.
Life is not scripted. We choose daily who we are. Be dad.
