The Cross Armory Extended Slide Lock features an extended, but not protrusive design. Will complement your Glock Gen 1-5 and/or P80 functionally as well as aesthetically.
We designed our own extended slide lock because we wanted to offer Glock & P80 enthusiasts a quality machined extended slide lock to go with our other Glock & P80 products.
The Cross Extended Slide Lock is made from 4140 Ordnance steel and carefully surface treated for corrosion resistance. We have improved the geometry to make the install time minimal, finger response optimal, with increased strength and reliability.
The Cross Extended Slide Lock will drastically improve slide removal for cleaning and maintenance work, a necessity for any Glock/P80 enthusiast looking to improve their weapon.
If you have a Gen 5 Glock, and are shopping around…be sure that the slide lock you buy is made specifically for a Gen 5, as our parts are. There are specific shapes to look for, that you will see in the images that are different from previous generations. Many websites are selling incompatible parts made for previous generations, that could cause your Gen 5 Glock to malfunction. The main indicator of a compatible Gen5 slide lock is the angled cut at the top that allows for the part to fit between the barrel lug and the recoil spring rod. There are other areas to look for as well, see the image comparison to be sure you have a slide lock that is made for Gen 5 like the Cross Armory Extended Slide Lock. Weather you buy our parts or from somewhere else, we want you to be sure you get the right part for your Glock!

Another great upgrade from Cross Armory! I know the description says extended but I would describe it more as “enhanced”. Like the description says it fits all holsters just like the factory slide lock but it is cut at an angle which makes it way easier to use. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade and it’s available in all the cool colors too. Check out my YouTube install and range review for the full details about the enhanced slide lock! https://youtu.be/PENVB-dkk7Y?si=wLK7DV1lxpbzGitA

WOW, what a great upgrade!!! I’m one of those guys who likes to keep things stock unless there’s a real advantage. I believed because I only removed the slide to do a cleaning, I really could do without the extended slide lock. I stand corrected. The CA extended slide lock makes slide removal a breeze. I really don’t understand why Glock hasn’t caught on. I highly recommend extended slide lock.

I recently purchased an extended slide lock for my Glock 19, Gen. 5.
Once I removed the old and compared with the new I noticed very little difference. I installed the Cross Armory extended slide lock and wow so much easier breaking down my Glock. I recommend this simple and inexpensive modification to all Glock owners.
