The Tyrant CNC TDHCATSCLBLK Extended Slide Release eliminates fumbling during high-stress reloads and malfunction clearances on Springfield Hellcat pistols. This precision-machined upgrade provides 40% more surface area than the factory slide release, enabling faster manipulation without shifting grip position.
What Makes This Different
Unlike oversized aftermarket releases that snag on holsters, this extended design maintains the Hellcat's concealability while dramatically improving functionality. The ergonomic profile extends just enough to reach with the shooting hand thumb without creating bulk. CNC machining from solid stainless steel bar stock ensures dimensional consistency that drop-in factory parts often lack.
Key Features
- Extended paddle increases surface area by 40% over factory release
- Precision CNC machined from 416 stainless steel with black nitride finish
- Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or permanent modifications
- Low-profile design maintains holster compatibility and concealed carry profile
- Textured contact surface prevents thumb slippage during manipulation
- Heat-treated construction resists wear from repeated cycling
- Compatible with all Springfield Hellcat and Hellcat Pro models
Competitive shooters report 0.3-second faster reload times compared to factory components, while the enhanced leverage reduces thumb pressure required for activation by approximately 25%. The extended surface works equally well for emergency slide lock reloads and press-check operations. Black nitride coating provides corrosion resistance in humid conditions while maintaining the pistol's original aesthetic.
