BULLET FORWARD SLIDE RELEASE FOR GLOCK® Reviews & Ratings

The Patented GHOST BULLET FORWARD SLIDE RELEASE: Combat Black Finish!

FORWARD IS FASTER

FORWARD PREVENTS OPERATOR ERRORS AND MALFUNCTIONS

BULLET PROOF DESIGN

DROP-IN

*LEFTY FRIENDLY

The BULLET FORWARD SLIDE RELEASE (BFSR) is designed for aggressive manipulations (read gross motor execution) for positive slide releases and slide stopping power under the most adverse conditions.

The Problem: Using the modern technique (thumbs forward) you can do one of two BAD things:

1. Your thumb can push UP the slide release locking the pistol open during recoil while ammo is still in the pistol.

2. Your thumb can FORCE the slide release down preventing the pistol from locking open when empty.

The Solution: The BULLET FORWARD SLIDE RELEASE prevents these occurrences by placing the slide release tab forward and between your thumbs! This forward thinking enables you to dominate your GLOCK! This part is made with the finest Stainless Steel.

Fits these Glock®Models:

Models: 17 (3 Pin Only), 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40 & 41.

Get a Grip

While I was fine with the stock slide release, I found a need for an extended one. I didn't like the look of this one, but a friend told me it works perfectly. After install I saw what he was talking about. There's no way you'll miss the slide release or allow your finger to slip off, not with this item. You can easily find it without looking and engage the slide release without issue.

Excellent alternative to unavailable OEM

The OEM extended slide release has been unavailable for some time now during 2020-2021, but this part works altogether quite as well, is very sturdy, and is just as easy to actuate as the Glock part. It's equivalently simple to install as the OEM part, and though it does cost more, it's of significantly better quality than some of the cheaper alternative examples available.

GREAT

The bullet slide release by ghost works extremally well. The bump lets me get the thumb pressure that I need to release the slide one handed when and if I need to. Hands getting old and stiff. The vidio that shows how too is most helpful. I did not need to be the guy in the corner with a hammer. Thank you.

Huge difference with this

This forward bullet slide release is a game changer for lefties. The RH shooters would want the version with the rearward bullet. Difficult for me to release the slide with the stock Glock part...or even the Glock extended version....with this forward button its fluid and easy. Installation takes 5 minutes. You pop out the 2 pins [center of pistol] without moving any other internal parts. Slide the stock slide lock out the back, slide the new one in aligning the hole with the big pin, replace pins- done.

Best Lefty Part Yet

Im a left handed LEO and have been shooting Glocks for 15+ years and more than a dozen years as my duty sidearm. Our manual of arms has always dictated using slide stop lever to lock the slide to rear ONLY. To release the slide the operator reaches over the top of the slide with the support hand, grasps the slide behind the ejection port and vigorously pulls the slide to the rear. I only use the slide stop to lock the slide open. The bullet forward design is the best Ive used yet. The 3 dimensional shaped tab allows you push the lever up. As a lefty I can do this with my left index (trigger) finger without adjusting my grip. I bought 1 and after using it, came back for 3 more. This is the only mod a southpaw shooter really needs.

Great for Lefties

As a left-handed shooter it can be hard at times to work most slide stop/releases. When I found this I thought I would give it a try and it is the best upgrade you can do if you are a left handed shooter. I can work the slide stop with the top side of my trigger finger when I need to lock it open. My wife loves her Glock now that she has one and yes she is a left-handed shooter also.

Bullet Forward Slide Release

Very good product, only issue is that it would be great if they would offer it in some additional finishes such as Titanium Nitride, or Silver as this type of slide release seldom is in a good quality part like this one.

flimsy spring

Spring is flimsy in comparison to OG spring, it easily bent out of shape on insert and would get lodged between the trigger shoe and it's own body, making it tough to install. I had to bend the spring out from this position in order to seat it after 5 attempts

Not so high-speed

I got this and installed on my Glock 22, because I liked the larger surface area. The bullet forward design looked like a good way to avoid having my thumb ride the slide release when shooting. In practice, it's too far forward, and didn't save me any time. In fact, I kept missing it after reloads and ended up putting the old slide release back on the gun. I would go with the Bullet Slide Release in normal e.g. Not Forward, configuration.

Disappointed

I picked up this part from Brownells and went straight home to put it on my G19. The spring broke when I attempted to install it! I didn’t force anything and this is a simple switch out. I put the stock Glock part right back on! Disappointed in Ghost and the same Glock has the 4.5 Ranger trigger connector (which I love). I know Brownells would replace it….but I don’t trust this part now.
