I slide enough of the slide stop thru to catch it, then I flip the assembly right side up and finish the slide stop install For what it’s worth, I found it’s easier to line-up the link and hole in the frame leaving the whole thing upside down.

I, however, won't cheap out when buying one in an effort to skip over the foreign made junk. So far, I'm 2 for 2 with Colts. But it's a tough sell to a new guy or girl getting into shooting to spend $1k on a good 1911 when they can get a Glock for $550 that's basically unbreakable.
