Wilson Combat 7B Extended Slide Release 1911 .45 ACP Matte Blue

The Wilson Combat 7B Extended Slide Release transforms 1911 operation with enhanced leverage and positive engagement. This precision-machined component addresses the common issue of standard slide releases being difficult to manipulate under stress or with wet hands.

What Makes This Different

The 7B features an extended paddle that provides 40% more surface area than factory slide releases. CNC-machined from solid steel bar stock, it maintains the exact tolerances required for reliable function while offering improved ergonomics. The matte blue finish matches factory Colt and Springfield finishes perfectly, eliminating the need for refinishing.

Key Features

• Extended paddle design increases leverage and contact area
• CNC-machined from 4140 steel for maximum durability
• Matte blue finish coordinates with most factory 1911 finishes
• Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or modifications
• Compatible with Government, Commander, and Officer frame sizes
• Maintains original profile to prevent snagging on holsters
• Heat-treated to 40-42 HRC for optimal spring tension

Competitive shooters and tactical users benefit from faster slide lock reloads and more positive slide release manipulation. The extended surface works effectively with shooting gloves or in adverse weather conditions. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this upgrade for duty weapons where reliable manipulation under stress is critical.
