AWLAZS Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 What is the best extended slide lock to run in a glock. I want to be able to release it with my strong hand thumb. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 If shooting USPSA production you need to stick with the OEM factory extended release. Unsure about other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWLAZS Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 I am not worried about that thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBolt Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The factory one from the G34/35 works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 OEM extended one works great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBunniFuFu Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I use the oem extended one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 You asked about a slide lock but we all think you meant a slide stop because it would be very hard to reach the slide lock with your thumb. As everyone else said the OEM extended slide stop works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbent Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I like the OEM versions, I have an aftermarket Vickers I believe and will switch it out next chance I get to an OEM version to match my other Glocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.roberts Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Here's a comparison of the three: stock, Glock extended, Vickers. Looks like the Vickers has a larger flat shelf, but doesn't come as far to the rear as the Glock extended. http://blogs.militarytimes.com/gearscout/2011/04/15/vickers-slide-release-for-glocks/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirt Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I find the Glock 34/35 stock slide release is the best. I've got one on my G19. Huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepdog566 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Be aware that some have problems with the extended slide stops. If you tend to shoot with a high grip or thumbs, the slide stop can inadvertently be pushed up causing malfunctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polymerfeelsweirdman Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I really dislike the extended slide stop I can reach the regular length one no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtimelarry Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I use the Glock 17 one.. I don't like the Extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igolfat8 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I ran a Ghost bullet for a while but had issues with the slide not locking back. The spring was weak so I bought the OEM extended, problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearless4x4 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 +1 to the oem extended one. Fit and feel is just right. I use a fairly high grip and it never unexpectedly engaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadpilot Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Oem extended works fine. On a g21 with a houge grip sleeve it's almost impossible to reach the factory stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthshine402 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I prefer the factory flat (non-extended) version. I have small hands and can easily activate it with my strong-hand thumb. I found that occasionally when shooting IDPA, my high grip would hold down the extended slide stop and the slide would not lock back when empty.
