[QUOTE="doctruptwn, post: 740754, member: 5207"] The Slide release is a Colt. The #3 means it is a Release for a 38 super or 9mm. The Slide releases were numbered #1 was for 45 acp, #2 was for a 22 LR conversion or Colt ACE (1911 purpose built in 22LR) #3 was for 38 super and 9mm. There is really no difference in the function of one over the other. The 38 super release will work fine in a 45 acp or a 22 lr. The releases can be found from anywhere that has 1911 parts. [URL="http://brownells.com"]http://brownells.com[/URL] or [URL="http://midwayusa.com"]http://midwayusa.com[/URL]is a good place to start. EGW or Cylinder an Slide make good parts. As we talked about if you replace it obviously keep the one you have, but get one that is grooved or checkered like the thumb safety. As for shooting it go ahead, it won't hurt the value usless you destroy it in the process. [/QUOTE]
