Abstract: The present application discloses an improved firearm design that features an ambidextrous slide stop, allowing for enhanced accessibility and functionality for both left-handed and right-handed shooters. This design provides advantages over the traditional 1911 pistol, addressing challenges faced by left-handed shooters and streamlining reloads and malfunction clearance. The application incorporates a male-female interlocking mechanism for the slide stop portions, allowing for secure and removable coupling. Additionally, a thumb pad is included for easy engagement of the slide lock. Overall, this innovation offers improved ergonomics and versatility for shooters of different handedness.
