I use the standard OEM slide release on most of my Glocks except for 20. On the larger frame gun the extended 34/35 lever makes it a bit easier to reach. I've noticed that the release is a bit harder to press on my 43. Probably in part be used its new but it also seems a bit more difficult to get my hand in the right position for leverage on such a small pistol.
I'm thinking of trying the Vickers release but Ive never actually handled a pistol so equipped. For those who have, especially on the 42/43, how much difference does it make? I find that the factory extended lever is too long for me on the 17/19 causing my thumb to contact it during recoil. |

My only concern with the one I installed on my 43 is my support hand pushing it down and not allowing the slide to lock back after firing last round. That's why I don't use them. I have big hands and don't need something easier to accidentally ride. I wish that wasn't the case though because they look like they would be a nice addition. I love the mag releases. |

Ran 250rds thru the 43 yesterday with the VT slide release installed. It did exactly what I feared it would do, stopped the slide from locking back every time. On the other hand I examined the stock Glock release and the way I grip the 43 the stock release would do the same. |

Same issue for me, and I have medium sized hands. I've learned to rack the slide over utilizing the slide stop. |
