My old fat fingers and nails constantly take a beating when I take down my SD9. Since the SD9VE has very similar frame parts as a Glock - I thought I would try installing a Lone Wolf extended slide lock release lever for Glock on my pistol. Used a 1/8 inch punch , depressed the slide lock leaf spring - while holding the spring down - slid out the old lock release. Verified they are the same dimensions - except the new one is obviously about 2-3 mm longer. Depressed spring and slid the lock release in. Slide works like usual - and rounds cycle. I will take out in a few weeks for a range test, but all looks good. And oh is it easier to take down the SD9 now. Purchased for $10.45 off of Ebay - free ship.
