Is $18 a fair price for the extended release installed?

I highly reccomend this over the Factory Glock type with the tiny bump, this one really is extended.

And if you need extended slide stop then your thumb is short and you need this also. The best.

IMHO the one pictured below is most likely the best one ever built. They go on all my Glocks.

I never knew there was another extended slidestop other thasn the one Glock makes.  I have the extended Glock one and it is better than the stock one but I really like the one that D.Hineline linked to it looks just like the one on the S&W Sigma I used to have and I really liked that one alot.

I can't beleive I never saw that before, thanks for the info guys

The Glock extended slide release is the least expensive, and you KNOW it works because it is stock on the G34. Eveything else looks cool but is also easily 2-3x the price of the stock stop. Also, once your pistol starts to get broken in, slapping in a new mag hard enough will cause the slide to chamber the next cartridge without touching the release.

Not to highjack.... but

Why would you need an extended slide release?  I've never had an instructor that advocated making a habit of using the slide release because fine motor skills are diminished under the stress of a defensive shooting.

The only thing I use my slide release for is to lock the slide back on an empty pistol.  And since this is generally an administrative function, a fancy aftermarket release is not needed.
