    Seemed like a good idea but the end that is supposed to depress the plunger tube spring is too flexible to be of much use on the slide stop side. I agree with the other fellow. Use a Bic ballpoint pen cap and save yourself the money.

    Not just dumb... but really, really dumb. Yeah, it helps to put the thumb safety ball detent back in, but it's pointless. Chances are you have a Bic ballpoint pen within arms reach. Use the cap... it'll do the same thing and more. Not only will it install the detent spring without scratching the gun, but you can use it to remove and replace the firing pin too. I'd give it one star, but it DID do what it was supposed to do, but it didn't do it any better than the plastic cap to a ballpoint pen.
