    Glock extended / oversized slide stop

    I've googled and I've asked Jeeves (lol).

    I'm left handed and looking for an oversize slide stop for Glock 19 G3.

    I don't like the profile of the extended forward slide stop (extends forward), or the factory extended slide stop (extends to the rear)

    I'm simply looking for an "oversized" slide stop. Basically same orientation just a larger bump. I can actuate that just fine with the back of my trigger finger knuckle - if it just had more hump to the bump.


    Thanks

      Look at the Tango Down / Vickers slide stop. I think its the best one on the market because it addresses the issues you and many of us have between the OEM basic and extended versions.

      That and their magazine release are two excellent phrases for Glocks (I don't like modding my guns unless I think its crucial).

        Try the Vickers model.

            Just reading up on it, exactly how much fitting is required?

                I have one on my 35, no fitting needed. Dropped right in. I really dislike the Glock extended slide release that comes with the 35/34, the Vickers is a big improvement. But at the end of the day, I still prefer the blame old stock Glock release that comes on the other models.
                But for what your looking for, the Vickers should be perfect.
                Here it is on my 35.

                By the way it is really just a copy of the M&P slide release.

                    Vickers Tactical perfects the Glock yet again. Having difficulty executing fast reloads with the stock slide stop? Extended slide stops locking the slide back with rounds still in the gun due to your shooting grip? Try the VTSS and never look back. Extensive prototyping and testing created the optimum slide stop shape enabling positive slide lock and release, especially with gloves. Precision stamped and formed from 4130 chrome moly steel with durable hard coat, the VTSS will outlive your Glock. We recommend professional gunsmith installation only.

                    I'm guessing this in bold text brought up the question about fitting?

                      Yes, but maybe that really means, "Drop in installation by professional gunsmith only..."


                      LOL

                          Drop by The Glock Store and buy it there, they will install it for free. Takes about 90 seconds, including comments about how dirty my...I mean your...gun is...

                          Got it. Love it. Get it. Also the extended factory mag release. Ditto.

                            Being a lefty, you might want to practice the gross motor skill of grasping the slide, pulling to the rear and releasing.

                            Under stress if the freshly inserted mag does not drop the slide, having he gross motor skill as subconscious might be a great skill.
                            Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

                            Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

                            Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

                            Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT
