You just have a good plunger and spring. Is it really that much of a PITA to press it back a little to insert the slide stop? I mean iff its too loose it could walk out of the frame while youre shooting and mess your weapon up..

Every 1911 I have ever owned has to be 'helped' here just a little..

I have had well worn examples on my desk that would slide right in with a little 'pop' but again they were well used weapons with thousands of rounds thru them..
