TangoDown Vickers Tactical Slide Stop – Glock 42 & 43 – VTSS-002
The TangoDown Vickers Tactical Slide Stop (VTSS-002) is a precision-engineered upgrade designed to solve the common manipulation issues found on the micro-compact Glock 42 and 43. Created in collaboration with legendary firearms instructor Larry Vickers, this slide stop provides a significantly more positive contact surface compared to the flat, undersized factory lever. Its unique "V-shape" and deep serrations offer the leverage needed to release or lock the slide confidently, even when your hands are sweaty, under stress, or wearing heavy gloves.
Constructed from 4130 Chrome Moly Steel and finished with a non-glare black nitride coating, the VTSS-002 is built for professional duty use. Unlike oversized competition-style levers that can snag on holsters or cause premature slide lock-back due to an aggressive thumb-forward grip, the Vickers design is optimized for concealed carry. It maintains a low profile that won't interfere with your daily carry rig, yet it’s substantial enough to eliminate the need for a grip shift during administrative tasks or combat reloads. This is a drop-in component that transforms "Glock Perfection" into a more ergonomic, high-performance reality.
Compatibility Note: Specifically designed for the Glock 42 and Glock 43 only. This model will NOT fit the Glock 43X or Glock 48 (which require the VTSS-004).
Key Features
- Vickers Design Geometry: Features a reshaped thumb pad that provides a natural "pocket" for your thumb, facilitating faster slide releases.
- Deep Traction Serrations: Vertical serrations provide maximum mechanical advantage, ensuring your thumb won't slip during high-stress operation.
- 4130 Steel Construction: Stamped and precision-formed from high-tensile steel for a lifetime of hard use and crisp engagement.
- Concealed Carry Profile: Engineered to be low-snag, making it the ideal upgrade for an EDC (Everyday Carry) G42 or G43.
- Positive Slide Lock: Makes locking the slide to the rear significantly easier for safety checks or clearing malfunctions.
- Easy Drop-In Installation: Requires no permanent modifications to your frame; installs in minutes with standard Glock tools.
