Wilson sold me one some years ago.

I would have liked to know as well. I emailed Wilson Combat but never did manage to track down an option that I could purchase outright. For sure I did not find one on the online shop.
Ended up filing my WC BP slide stop down and reblueing it. For me it worked out; but since I had the part already I figured why not.

Ended up filing my WC BP slide stop down and reblueing it. For me it worked out; but since I had the part already I figured why not.
As a lefty with an extremely high and hard grip, my support hand thumb indexes exactly on the pin of the slide stop. I experienced several stoppages in the first few hundred rounds before I realized what was going on. Having a flush fit slide stop completely solved that issue for me. Field stripping the gun now, I reflexively pick up my 10 8 armorer's tool and just push on the pin. It comes right out.
I looked at chamfering, as I had thoughts of cutting a 45 angle on the frame, to allow the pin to be pushed, like you see on custom guns. I even went so far as to source the correct tool at Brownell's.

My understanding is that with a brass 0.20 caliber pilot, this tool would fit precisely within the hole in the frame for the slide stop (mine measures 0.200), and allow a slow, methodical cut to be made on the frame, at a uniform 45 degrees.
At $109.99, it is a little spendy for me as a one time use tool, but I thought it was a useful enough thing to post here in case someone wanted to DIY this.
OK, makes much more sense now hearing you're a lefty.As a lefty with an extremely high and hard grip, my support hand thumb indexes exactly on the pin of the slide stop.

I actually have that tool and have crowned a few .22 barrels with it I will say that it is somewhat easy to develop a chatter in the chamfered surface. It's a tricky thing to use.
non-chamfered..I’m LH so a must for me

Is this because your right thumb hits the SS pin? I'm asking because I shoot mostly LH now as my right eye is getting worse (born left handed), and have never had any problems shooting a 1911 left handed.
Other than the TS being on the wrong side....

edit: have you tried a RDS?
Ok, I was just curious as my right thumb ends up on the dust cover just past the vertical portion of the trigger guard (I have 2XXL hands).
All of my pistols have RDS on them. Started shooting them in the 80s on my USPSA Open class pistols and have never stopped.
