Messin' With Perfection

Experimental magazine release, squared, checkered, and serving to set the slide lock automatically when magazine release actuated.

I do not know why anyone would want to actuate the slide stop when they dropped a magazine, but Colt figured out a way to do it. It seems to me that having the slide lock back when the magazine is empty is a superior idea.
