Frequently Asked Questions

What was the main issue with the Fusion Firearms XP Pro pistol?

The primary issue identified was with the original slide stop/slide release lever. A high two-handed grip could inadvertently engage the lever, preventing the slide from locking back on an empty chamber, which is a critical malfunction.

How did Fusion Firearms resolve the slide stop issue on the XP Pro?

Fusion Firearms developed a new prototype slide stop for the XP Pro. This revised design features a slightly different profile, with a subtle edge, that prevents it from being accidentally depressed by a high shooting grip.

What is the benefit of the new prototype slide stop for the Fusion Firearms XP Pro?

The new prototype slide stop allows shooters to maintain a very high and tight two-handed grip without the risk of accidentally engaging the slide release. This ensures reliable slide lock-back after the last round is fired.

How does the new Fusion Firearms XP Pro slide stop compare to other pistols?

The presenter noted that the new prototype slide stop's design is very similar to those found on Staccato pistols, which are known for their ergonomic compatibility and resistance to accidental slide stop engagement with high grips.
