I know it is my fault but does anyone else have problems with P320 slide lock on empty mag? I feel the lever sticks out so much I ride it so it doesn't catch on empty mag. I just picked up a low profile one which is smaller but it sticks out as far from the frame as the other. I saw one guy online that cut the left side flush and just uses the right side to lock open. Only time I use the slide lock is to remove slide or at range if I unload and lock slide to the rear to show clear. I was hoping that someone has a part that goes tight to frame but I haven't found it. Before anyone says change your grip this is the only platform that does this. Not Glock, P229, P365, 1911s as all these are no issue. I did have this issue with a Springfield XDS45 I had for awhile and I was told change my grip. Some of my thumb placement probably stems from 1911 shooting as I ride the safety like a gas pedal so when I run other platforms my thumb tends to sweep down the side and rides along the slide. I feel this is ok as I have zero problems switching from striker fired to SAO pistols with manual safeties. It comes out of holster to target and safety is off. I don't even think about it which I feel good about since I do carry a Wilson SFX9 and a 1911 a decent amount.

I loaded some internet pics to show kinda what I'm talking about. I have replaced my grip module with the WC module which fits my hand so much better.

Do you have gigantic hands? I have to intentionally change my grip to hit the slide release.

I don’t have big hands. Maybe I need to take a pic while gripping

That might help. My thumb just doesn’t “bend that way” if that makes sense.

Sorry for the awkward pic, had to boop the camera button with my nose.

Shave it off/flush if you seriously don’t use it.
 
I’m seriously thinking about it. If it’s a problem I have another. Just don’t understand why it sticks out from the frame so much.
 
You aren’t the only one with the problem.

P320 low profile slide catch?

I am transitioning to a legion p320 for carry optics from a glock. My thumb forward grip puts my right thumb under the slide catch in a way that has been causing malfunctions. Either putting enough drag on the slide to cause the gun not to go into battery or locking the slide open. I am working o...
