Great for Glock Slin Frames...
I have these slide stops on my G43 and G43X. Even on these slim frame pistols, I find the factory stops too flat against the frame to manipulate comfortably. The Vickers part allows easier access without getting in the way.
Great piece for Small Frame GLOCK
Have one on my Glock 42 and now G43, its great for the small frame Glocks! The angle and slight rounded bulge of the release allow for a good purchase to manipulate the slide stop but it's not over sized such that you'll hit it with your thumb while firing and either lock it back or release it inadvertently--very important, and the part aesthetically looks like a Glock factory slide stop! Mine works great on G43 & G42 I highly recommend them!
Make the slide stop much more usable
I have have VT slide stops on most of my glocks and I love the functionality they add. I was worry that on the 43 it would stick out too far, but its far less pronounced than the full size model.
What a difference
Night and Day difference in ease of operation in manipulating the slide stop release.
It works...but I have issues.
This is a well made slide release. It is much easier to manipulate and is just the right size for my thumb. It was easy to install and the overall quality is good. So on the reason why I bought this item. I know that it is advertised as a slide stop, but lets be honest, it's a slide release. To my knowledge glock teaches that their pistols use a slide stop. Meaning that racking the slide during a slide lock reload is the "correct way" to complete that type of reload with the factory slide stop. The factory slide stop is just that, a slide stop. It is not intended to be used as a release. Hence the upgrade to this product. This product allows a much easier reload from slide lock. Also manually locking the slide is much easier as well. Now this may just be a defect, but the one I received caused failures to feed. This product does not lock the slide far enough back to perform a slide lock reload from partially loaded magazines(3 or less rounds). Is that really a big deal? Maybe. The way I see it, it makes a pretty big "what if" case. If for what ever reason I had to load a partially loaded magazine from slide lock in a fight and I used this slide release, it would jam. Could I just remember to rack the slide? Maybe. The point is that it takes a lot of confidence out of the firearm. I need to know that when I load a mag of whatever capacity it is at and I hit the slide stop or rack the slide its going to feed. For me, that's with the factory part. I have attached pictures to show my findings. The first three pictures are with the TANGODOWN slide stop. The last two are with the factory slide stop.
