Hey everyone,
First post here. I've just become the proud owner of an XD-M Elite 3.8". I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase and have almost no complaints. However, I've noticed something with the "ambidextrous" slide stop.
When holding the weapon in my left hand, which is my shooting hand, I am able to engage the locking mechanism on the right side. However, I am only able to release the slide with the slide lock on the left side, meaning I have to change my grip a bit to release the slide. I assumed that with an ambi slide release that it would function equally on both sides.
Is this normal? If so, is there anything I can do about it? This is not the end of the world by any means, just a minor annoyance I guess. Thanks in advance.
