Will a Rami slide stop work in the Phantom frame?

[Shift Zombie]

I'm looking for a minimalist slide stop that will more reliably lock open on last shot with my grip. I know the Rami stop is pretty flush in comparison to the stock 75 stop and would like to know if it's going to fit my Phantom before I drop $34 on it. I understand there are some subtle differences with the Phantom but I'm not sure that extends to all frame parts.

Thanks for the help,

Have you figured out why it isn't locking open reliably now?

Hesitant, I am, to screw with interchanging parts on things that go bang.
Usually ends up costing more than $34.

If you don't get an answer here, I'm sure somebody over at czfirearms.us has tried it before. You also may be able to ask the guys at Cajun Gun Works, I'm sure they'd know.

I believe one someone on here has both. They may be able to check into it for you.

It's my high thumbs grip and size of hands. Occasionally, my palm will prevent the slide stop from raising and locking open on last round. It's costly in time, during a match, when I have to sling shot a round in. Seems trivial, perhaps, but every second I can shave off counts during a match. I think the Rami stop would alleviate the issue. I'll give CZC a call and find out, then update.

I talked to both CZC and Cajun. Cajun couldn't answer the question, they had never been asked it prior and didn't have a Rami in stock to see. I will say they have awesome customer service. They called me back even though I hadn't left a message, I thought that was nice. CZC says it won't work because the Phantom frame is a little wider and recommended I purchase a spare slide stop and file/grind it down or have one milled. I'm going to do some pricing and find out how much it is to get one custom milled.

I was going to suggest buying a spare and grinding it down and smoothing it out.

Ok. You got me. If it were mine, I wouldn't by a spare.... I'd just grind away at the one on it till it fit me.

One of my buddies works with CNC machines, he's going to mill me one after I get a spare.

How is your palm getting anywhere near the slide stop? I'm confused.

I'm betting it's more the meaty part of his thumb. I've had this issue with some pistols.

Yes, I could see that.

That's right, more of the meaty portion of the thumb. Here's a pic of my grip on the Phantom. My hands pretty much eat the gun.

Not the exact question I know, but FWIW, my RAMI-P slide stop fits and functions fine in my Omega.

@chezuki
Yes, I believe that could work if the Rami-P frame is wider like the Phantoms. I inspected my grip a bit closer today, the way my thumb arches should clear the slide lock completely if I grind it down, or find the Rami-P stop actually works.
