Does the slide cover plate need the little rectangle?
Hey guys. I'm interested in buying a flatline ops slide cover plate for my M&P Shield 9mm, but i had a question for anybody that knows specifically about the operation of the slide. This is what the back of the cover plate looks like. I notice it's missing the rectangle in the middle, which the stock part has on it. Is this rectangle crucial to operation and reliability?
Anybody? I'm 50/50 on it. It looks like the plastic channel that everything sits in stays in place without that rectangle, but I'd like a more knowledgeable answer
