The Tyrant CNC TDGSTOP5BLK Extended Slide Release eliminates fumbling with standard controls during critical reloads and malfunction clearances. This precision-machined component transforms the factory slide release into a larger, more accessible control surface that works reliably under stress. Built from 6061-T6 aluminum with a hard-anodized black finish, it maintains the reliability Glock owners demand while improving manual of arms.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer aftermarket alternatives, this slide release features CNC-machined construction from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. The extended paddle increases surface area by approximately 40% compared to factory components while maintaining the original's spring tension and engagement geometry. Hard anodization provides superior wear resistance compared to standard finishes, ensuring consistent operation through thousands of cycles.
Key Features
- CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance
 
- Extended paddle design increases manipulation surface area by 40%
 
- Hard-anodized black finish resists wear and maintains appearance
 
- Drop-in installation requires no permanent modifications to frame
