This is a series 80 Gold Cup modified with a Centaur barrel and recoil system.
The slide stop is unique to the Centaur in that it has a slot on the top of the shaft for shims and a pin that puts slight pressure on the barrel lug to force the barrel up into battery. The instructions say a standard slide stop won't work with this barrel. The slide stop cannot be replaced or changed. This gun holds 1" groups at 50 yards so I won't be replacing the Centaur system.
The problem, although minor, is that after I lock the slide open with a mag in the gun, I will drop the mag and then pull back on the slide to release it.
The slide stop doesn't drop down far enough to clear the notch. I have to use thumb pressure on the slide stop to lower the slide stop and release the slide.
Otherwise, the gun works perfectly.
I hope someone tells me I just need a new plunger spring. Opinions ?
