Thanks for the info Chucko.

That's what I thought it was. But I didn't realize that it (the tab) was designed to be pushd down from the inside. I believed it had something to do with being able to push up on it from the bottom of the gun. Have you ever had to "clear" a jam in the manner you described by the use of the flex tab? I ask this as it seems like the tab is still *very* stiff, and wouln'd bend that well. I guess though with all the force that could be applied on it by forcefully pulling back on the slide it can be done.

Thanks Again,

Rob

RKBA!
