I bought my girlfriend a Sig 250 for her birthday. (With the thinking that if she wanted to upgrade it to a 9mm when she gets more comfortable shooting she could move up easily. Plus after handling a few 380's she liked that one. Whether that line of thinking was rational is neither here nor there.)

Anyway, the rear of the notch on the slide that catches the slide release is cut at a slight angle toward the front of the slide making the release of the slide, when locked back, difficult for her skinny thumb(s). All of my semi-autos are easier, even the 1911's.

What do y'all think about filing the notch so it's closer to 'vertical' to make the slide release depress easier?
