New kids on the block

[Heymatt]

Recent acquisitions, 908S, 457S and a 3913.
908S cleaned up nicely, no issues. Came with two mags so I’m happy with that.
457S, very clean, slide stop was incredibly hard to remove. Needed a punch to get it to move out. Recoil springs were testing my grip strength. Found a burr on the end of the slide stop. A little 400 grit and some Scotch brite to smooth it out, all good.
3913 was a theft recovery that had been stuck in limbo at my LGS for the last year. Case finally closed and it came home with me. Decocker isn’t smooth and a little crunchy. Haven’t had that one apart yet, probably just needs a good cleaning, TBD.

The slide stop on my 457s is also a bear to remove. I don't know why it's different from my 457, but there it is.
I keep forgetting that they made a 908S.
A good cleaning should fix the crunchy safety. The whole gun probably needs some TLC in the way of cleaning.
Those are three nice pick ups.

Slide stop was still a little fussy. Swapped out the dual coil springs it came with, both were light blue. Had a new set of factory springs. Swapped them in and now the slide stop pops out just like my other 457’s. Doesn’t require near the same effort to hold the slide open.

I think the light Blue springs are from Springco. Remember that they made them when they were not available from the factory for a period of time. I have a couple of sets in my guns and they seem to work quite well.
