Extended Slide Release for Colt Defender

[markhait]

Does anyone know where I can buy a extended slide release for a Colt Defender?
Heck...I've tried looking for just about any part on the defender and I can't seem to find anyone that sells them, either custom or replacement!

The Defender isn't listed on the product fit codes page.
The closest they have is the Officers at 3 1/2" barrel. The Defender has
a 3" barrel.
Are they dimensionally the same other than the barrel length?

I believe the frame size to be the same, however, a phone order would certainly clear up that question.

There's no detailed listing of models for this part, because the slide stop fits the Government, Officers ACP and Defender models. While I kind of like the extended slide stop on my "Patchwork Colt" (which is actually a 1918 Remington-UMC :) ), many/most/all "authorities" discourage their use.
