VICKERS TACTICAL SLIDE STOP FOR GLOCK® 42/43 Reviews & Ratings

Small pistols can present big problems under stress reloads. On top of limited magazine capacity, undersized controls can hamper-or even prevent-a proper reload. The stakes are clear in that event. Don't run the risk….install a Vickers Tactical Slide Stop. It features the same positive V-shape with deep serrations that enables fast manipulation, in both directions, found on the original VT Slide Stop. A huge improvement to the Glock®42 and 43. Fits Glock®Model 42 and 43. Will not fit Glock®Models 25 or 28. Reshaped thumb pad with deep serrations, allows easy slide lock and release, even with gloves. Precision stamped from 4130 chrome moly steel, with non-glare black finish.

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.
