Ed Brown 1911 extended slide stop?

Is this pretty much a drop in part or does it require some fitting?

Don't know about the Brown specifically. A slide stop could be a drop in, but having put in a few I've found for the most part they are not. The pin that passes through the frame & link may have to be fitted if it is oversized. The nub on the slide that is pushed up by the mag follower may need to be fitted. The area around the slide's stop's rear may also have to be fitted for depth & to laterally clear the frame. It's an interesting bit of work to do.

the original slide stop is looking better all the sudden[:D]

Most I've used will drop in. My question is why do you want one? I know very few shooters that use them. They either use the thumb of the off hand or just rack the slide when it locks back.

Actually, it was more for the looks. I want to put slide stop, trigger, etc (most done by a pistolsmith) on my 1911 b/c I like the look of a black gun with stainless parts. Also want to update some of the stock parts with some Ed Brown hard core parts.

...The only "exteneded" parts I care for are the BT's.
...Ive never met a slide release I had to "fit", I guess there are some though.

...Why not locate the exact parts original to your gun(?), a smith is a good place to start for new take-off's...then bag and tag the ones you remove from your gun. This way, you can always return your gun to it's original configuration...unless you add an extended BT that has to be fitted (tang cut). Wilson makes a great drop-in BT that requires no cutting of the tang, and the tolerance between the BT and tang is very close.

...Send the parts you want plated here...Chris is a great guy, does quality work at reasonable prices and short turn around time...give Chris a call. He also has a brochure if you need it, with a lot more of what they do, with prices, ask and he shall send...[;)]
