GLOCK, OEM Extended Slide Release and Spring, For Glock 9mm 17 Gen5, 19 Gen5, 19X, 26 Gen5, 34 Gen5 MOS, Black - 47249
Product Description
Performing rapid, one-handed slide releases or clearing slide-lock battery disruptions under high-stress competition or duty scenarios can be difficult with low-profile standard slide stops. Operators with smaller hands or those wearing tactical gloves often struggle to gain sufficient thumb leverage on flush factory levers without breaking their dominant firing grip. The Glock OEM Gen 5 Extended Slide Release and Spring (47249) resolves these manipulative hurdles by offering an extended profile ledge engineered directly by Glock for the ambidextrous Gen 5 platform.
Stamped from heavy-gauge stainless steel with a durable factory black coating, this genuine OEM component features subtle outer ledge extensions on both the primary and off-side lever arms. The subtle outward sweep increases surface area for rapid downward thumb pressure during emergency reloads while maintaining a low-profile silhouette that minimizes holster drag and accidental lockup engagement under recoil. The unit comes complete with the internal coil spring factory pre-assembled, ensuring correct tension and positive down-bias reset dynamics.
Designed specifically to drop into standard 9mm Gen 5 receiver channels, the 47249 assembly preserves factory safety tolerances, crisp lockup geometry on empty magazines, and true drop-in compatibility across full-size, compact, and subcompact Gen 5 frames.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Direct factory fitment for standard Glock 9x19mm Gen 5 models including the G17 Gen5, G19 Gen5, G19X, G26 Gen5, G34 Gen5 MOS, G45, and G47. Utilizes the Gen 5 dual-lever ambidextrous frame geometry. Does NOT fit Gen 1–4 frames, Glock 43/43X/48 slimline models, or .40 S&W Gen5 models with specialized pin spacing.
Installation Sequence:
- Safety check the firearm, remove the magazine, and physically/visually inspect the chamber to ensure an empty weapon.
- Field strip the slide from the frame, then press out the locking block pin and trigger pin using a 3/32" armorer punch.
- Lift out the locking block and gently pull the factory slide stop lever upward and forward out of the trigger housing recess.
- Position the new 47249 extended lever assembly into the frame channel, ensuring the integrated coil spring rests underneath the locking block cross pin shelf.
- Reinstall the locking block and drive the trigger pin back into place while gently wiggling the lever to align the internal pin notch. Perform complete dry-function and empty magazine lockup checks before live fire.
