I have an old 1911 that has a lot of miles on it. Entire internals have been replaced and it shoots like a house afire. Never bobbles, highly accurate, etc.
Now the problem. The slide hold open notch in the slide has worn from use and is rounded where it should be square. Therefore, the slide often will not lock open or if it does, it may slam closed with simple gun handling.
Can the slide notch be somehow recut to square so that it works as designed? If so, how is that done? The slide lock lever is a replacement and is square as it should be.
Thanks IA.
