Precision CNC-Machined for Glock Slimline Pistols
Tyrant CNC (also marketed as Tyrant Designs) built this part as the first-ever CNC-machined extended slide release for Glock 42/43/43X/48. Instead of stamped or MIM construction, it’s crafted from 6061 aluminum on precision CNC equipment, then finished for durability and smooth operation. AR15Discounts+2Glock Parts+2
Material: 6061 aluminum
Manufacturing: Full CNC machining for tight tolerances and clean lines
Finish: Premium gray PVD topcoat for added wear resistance and a sleek, modern look Continental Customs+1
The result is a slide release that not only looks custom, but also stands up to hard, daily use on your EDC or range pistol.
Extended, Textured Paddle for Faster Slide Control
The big advantage of the Tyrant CNC Extended Slide Release is usable surface area. Compared to the small, low-profile factory lever, this design gives your thumb more to work with—without being obnoxiously oversized.
According to multiple retailers and Tyrant’s own product text, the design: The Mag Shack+2Glock Parts+2
Adds increased surface area for easier engagement
Uses a raised, machined texture for secure contact, even with sweat or gloves
Is tuned to greatly improve usability for all shooters, including those with smaller hands or weaker grip strength
That means quicker, more consistent slide lock and release when clearing, reloading, or running malfunction drills.
Compatible with Glock 42, 43, 43X & 48

It’s a drop-in replacement slide stop lever for these models—no permanent modifications, milling, or gunsmithing required in most standard configurations. Just swap out the factory part and you’re ready to go.
Always confirm compatibility with your specific pistol generation and any existing aftermarket parts to ensure clearances remain correct.
Hard-Use Durability with PVD Gray Style
Most Tyrant CNC slide releases use a hard coat anodized base, and this variant adds a PVD gray finish for extra protection and a premium color tone. AR15Discounts+2MidwayUSA+2
Benefits of this construction:
Corrosion & wear resistance from both anodizing and PVD
A slick, low-friction surface where the lever interfaces with the slide
A distinct gray accent that pairs perfectly with black frames, stainless slides, and other gray, FDE, or custom builds
Whether you’re matching other Tyrant parts or just want a subtle custom touch, the gray PVD finish looks right at home on modern carry guns.
Ideal Upgrade for EDC, Range, and Competition Use
Retailers consistently market this extended slide release as a great upgrade for both concealed carry and competition pistols. The Mag Shack+2Glock Parts+2
It’s especially useful if you:
Want faster reloads and more confident slide lock on your carry gun
Run training classes or high round-count range sessions where efficiency matters
Have trouble reaching or positively engaging the factory slide stop
Prefer strong, tactile control surfaces for one-handed manipulations
Because it’s still relatively compact, the lever is designed to enhance control without snaggy, oversized “race gun” geometry that can catch on holsters or clothing.
Simple Drop-In Installation
The Tyrant CNC Extended Slide Release is designed as a quick, drop-in replacement for the OEM slide stop: The Mag Shack+2AR15Discounts+2
Uses factory-style geometry for Glock 42/43/43X/48
Installs using standard Glock disassembly steps
No permanent modifications needed in a stock frame/slide setup
Basic high-level steps (not a full gunsmithing guide):
Ensure the pistol is unloaded and safe.
Field strip the slide from the frame.
Remove the existing slide stop lever and spring as per Glock’s procedures.
Install the Tyrant CNC Extended Slide Release in the same location.
Reassemble and perform a full function check before live fire.
