The Tyrant CNC TDGSTOP48BLACK Extended Slide Release transforms standard Glock subcompact operation with enhanced ergonomics and precision machining. This 6061 aluminum upgrade addresses the common complaint of difficult slide manipulation on smaller-framed pistols. The extended profile provides significantly improved leverage and contact surface area compared to factory components.
What Makes This Different
Machined from aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum with a Type III hard anodized finish, this slide release offers superior durability over polymer factory parts. The extended paddle design increases surface area by approximately 40% while maintaining a low profile that won't snag on clothing or holsters. The precise CNC manufacturing ensures consistent engagement with minimal wear over thousands of cycles.
Key Features
- Extended paddle design for improved manipulation and faster reloads
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
- Direct replacement for Glock 42, 43, 43X, and 48 models
- Low-profile design prevents snagging during draw
- Precision CNC machined for exact OEM specifications
- Matte black finish resists wear and corrosion
- No gunsmithing required for installation
Field testing demonstrates reliable function across temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F. The enhanced surface area reduces thumb pressure required for slide lock engagement by an estimated 25-30%. Competition shooters report faster reload times, while concealed carriers appreciate the improved one-handed operation capability. The hard anodized surface maintains its finish through extended use and regular cleaning solvents.
