Does anybody know to replace the factory installed takedown lever?

I got the Extra long lever for the Glock. It works great. Go to You Tube and they can show you. It is very easy.

Just be aware that the spring that keeps tension on the lever is apparently not secured, like on Glocks. I've put a number of extended levers in Glocks, and never had an issue...but when I first put one in a SDVE pistol, the spring flew out of the frame when I removed the lever. Fortunately I found it, and got it reassembled. Since then, if I need to remove the lever, I put some tension on the spring...I use a foam ear plug....works like a champ to hold the spring down, and just fits snugly in the frame. I don't have enough hands to keep the spring down and work on the lever at the same time.
