1911 vs Hi Capa Slide Stop?

[Piman]

So I am awaiting a Nova 1911 kit to ship over from HK. In the meantime I have been trying to find the right accessories to match. In my search I have come across something that is confusing me as I was not sure there was a difference between slide stops.

 

However the Wii Tech website has two versions of each of their slide stops with the following statements:

 

1911 (T.Marui) CNC Steel Slide Stop Hi-Capa Light -  It fits T.Marui Hi-Capa gbb pistol only.

1911 (T.Marui) CNC Steel Slide Stop 1911 Light - It only fits T.Marui 1911 series GBB pistol that uses single stack magazine.  It does not fit Hi-Capa series GBB pistol

 

Nearly all other slide stops I have seen suggest they are suitable for both. I am confused. Can anyone enlighten me?

 

Thanks

1911 slide stops have an extended bit so that the magazine follower is engaged on empty. Hi capa slid stop doesn't so won't engage a 1911 mage follower on empty. the both how ever fit with no issue in the opposite gun.

Thank you, that helps a lot and explains the confusion on compatibility.
