Hi all. I've got a 1959 model 41, and when the slide is pulled back the slide stop very nicely pops up on its own and holds the slide back, and depressing the slide stop releases the slide forward. I've also got a very recent performance center (circa 2012ish) model 41, but on that one the slide stop has to be manually pushed up to hold the slide back - it won't pop up on its own. Does anyone know if there was a change in the slide stop mechanism at some point, or does my newer gun need to go back to the factory to be fixed so it springs up when the slide is pulled back? (btw, the fit/finish on the older one is clearly better)
Thanks
