I have a VP9 and really like the gun. My only problem with it is the trigger is a little heavy for my tastes and, being left-handed, the slide lock rests directly under my thumb when shooting so the gun doesn't lock back on an empty mag.
I have ordered the "ultra-match" spring set (will drop the trigger from ~6 lbs to ~3 lbs) and a spare right side slide release. my plan is to cut it off at the red dotted line, drill a hole, tap, solder a bolt in the threads, then cut off the back of the bolt to make a new, shorter release.
My question is this: will the solder be strong enough for this application? Is there a better way of accomplishing this? (the spare slide release was only ~$15, so if I don't like it when complete, no big deal.)
