Vickers Tactical Ambidextrous Slide Stop for Glock Gen 5 (17, 19, 19X, 26, 34) - Steel Black
- Firearm Make Fit:
- Glock
The Vickers Tactical Ambidextrous Slide Stop for Glock Gen 5 is a purpose-built replacement for shooters who demand reliability when it matters most. Whether you're training at speed, running a defensive pistol course, or just tired of fumbling with the factory slide stop, this ambidextrous design lets you lock and release the slide from either side of the gun without shifting your grip. Built from 4130 chrome moly steel—the same material Glock uses—and heat-treated to factory specs, it's engineered to handle the abuse and inconsistency that come with real-world use.
The core improvement over the OEM part is the reshaped thumb pad with deep serrations. That geometry lets you manipulate the slide positively and consistently, even when you're wearing gloves or moving fast. No premature lockbacks, no missed releases—just straightforward function across all conditions. The non-glare black hard coat finish resists corrosion and won't shine under a light, making this a clean upgrade for any Gen 5 platform.
This part fits all Glock Gen 5 pistols released to date: the G17, G19, G19X, G26, and G34. Installation requires a gunsmith; it's not a drop-in swap, but the professional fit guarantees no fitment headaches. If you're serious about your reload speed and reliability, this is a tactically sound upgrade over the factory slide stop.

The Vickers Tactical ambidextrous design features a reshaped thumb pad with deep serrations for more positive engagement, especially when wearing gloves or manipulating the slide at speed. It's made from the same 4130 chrome moly steel and heat-treated to the same specifications as the OEM part, but the geometry is optimized for faster, more reliable reloads and releases in all conditions.
Will this work with my holster and other gear?
The modified thumb pad may alter how the slide stop interfaces with some holsters or gear designed around the original factory geometry. Check with your holster manufacturer or gunsmith if you have concerns about fit with your existing setup.
