Ghost Inc Extended Slide Release For Glock 42 43 43X 48 Black Finish GHO ESR4243 UPC 813978020495
Product Description
The Ghost Inc. Extended Slide Release for Glock Slimline Pistols in Black Finish (MPN: GHO-ESR4243) is an ergonomic tactical upgrade designed to eliminate slide manipulation struggle on single-stack and slimline Glock handguns. Purpose-built for the Glock 42, 43, 43X, and 48 series, this extended control lever provides increased mechanical leverage for effortless slide release and lockback manipulation without forcing shooters to break their natural master firing grip.
Precision-stamped in the USA from high-tensile stainless steel and treated w/ a durable black surface coating, the GHO-ESR4243 features an enlarged, aggressively textured thumb pad. The pad extends slightly further back and outward compared to the flat factory OEM slide stop lever, delivering positive thumb traction during high-stress defensive reloads or emergency clearing maneuvers under cold, wet, or gloved conditions.
Engineered w/ a sleek, snag-free curved contour, the Ghost Inc. Extended Slide Release fits smoothly inside standard concealment holsters w/ zero dragging or premature slide lockback risks. It installs directly into your factory lower frame w/ no gunsmithing required, making it an essential performance modification for defensive concealed carry handguns.
Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Direct fit for subcompact and slimline Glock models: Glock 42 (.380 ACP), Glock 43 (9mm), Glock 43X (9mm), and Glock 48 (9mm). (Note: Will NOT fit standard double-stack Glock models like the G19, G17, G26, or G34).
- Perform a complete firearm safety check: drop the magazine, retract the slide rearward, and visually/physically inspect the chamber to verify zero live rounds are present.
- Field strip the pistol by removing the slide assembly from the frame.
- Use a 3/32" armorer punch to push out the trigger pin from the left side of the frame to the right.
- Lift out the factory OEM slide stop lever and spring assembly from the frame cavity.
- Insert the Ghost Inc. GHO-ESR4243 extended slide release, ensuring the spring leg seats properly under the locking block pin channel.
- Reinsert the trigger pin through the frame while slightly wiggling the slide release until the pin snaps completely through, then perform a manual function check for proper spring tension and lockback.
