Cross Armory CRG5SLRD Extended Slide Lock Red Steel Glock Gen 1-5

The Cross Armory CRG5SLRD Extended Slide Lock transforms standard Glock operation with enhanced leverage and positive engagement. This red anodized steel component replaces factory slide locks across all Glock generations and Polymer80 builds, delivering consistent lockback function and improved manual manipulation.

What Makes This Different

Unlike factory plastic slide locks that can wear over time, this steel construction maintains dimensional stability through thousands of cycles. The extended paddle provides 40% more surface area than stock components, reducing finger pressure required for slide release. CNC machining ensures precise fitment without modification to the frame or other components.

Key Features

• Extended paddle design increases leverage for faster slide release
• Heat-treated steel construction resists wear and deformation
• Red Type III hard anodized finish provides corrosion resistance
• Universal compatibility with Glock Gen 1-5 and Polymer80 frames
• Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or frame modification
• Maintains factory trigger safety and firing pin safety function
• Low-profile design prevents snagging on holsters or gear

Field testing demonstrates reliable lockback with various ammunition weights and slide velocities. The extended paddle proves particularly beneficial during competition reloads and tactical drills where speed matters. Weather exposure tests show the anodized finish maintains color and function through temperature extremes and moisture exposure.
