It’s part 1034. I’d shoot the gun before changing the part.

Curious, why? It's an OEM Glock part, I've changed many w/o issues? Won't put it into defense or carry rotation with test firing it regardless............

Thanks -

You may find the current part works well and you have no need for an extended lever. Given my grip, I take the extended lever out of my GLOCKs most of the time. My hand either rests on the lever preventing slide lock, or my thumb hits it and locks open the slide with rounds left in the mag. It’s easier for me to actuate the slide top with my support hand or use the overhand method to chamber a round than use the thumb on my dominant hand, neither of which requires the extended lever and I avoid the potential problems I have with them.

Was gonna post something about people buying extended slide releases changing them back later (as is my experience) but then I saw your post count and figured you've probably got it figured out by now.

Yeah once I switched over to sling-shoting the slide closed, and ran into the same issues with inadvertently holding the extended slide release down while shooting, I realized the extended release really wasn't doing much for me and changed back.

I agree with above. The extended lever on a SC gun, you may find that the slide won't lock back when empty OR it locks back prematurely, and blame the gun.

I can’t tell you the number of times someone blamed the malfunction(s) on the gun, but when I had them shoot it one-handed they couldn’t replicate the problem. And they’d continue to swear up and down their hand never contacted the lever.

All my glocks get extended slide lock levers. You guys have it all wrong. The extended slide lock lever is for dissemble. And makes life much easier. I really cannot see this part failing

Correct, the slide lock lever is the lever used to take down the gun, unfortunately, its commonplace for people to call the slide stop lever a slide lock lever. Since GLOCK doesn’t make an OEM extended slide lock, I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) the OP was referring to the slide stop.

If it were an extended mag release, I could understand the apprehension.

I don't really have much use for extended slide stop levers, as the stock one is easy enough to manipulate and that Kagwerks dingleberry is a hard pass. I've left the one on my G34 alone and take any off if I buy a used Glock with them on, but I've yet to see a factory extended slide stop lever fail, maybe aftermarket ones that are made out of spec.

The same part for the 30/30SF works in the 30S.

As for the slide lock, no there is no factory extended slide lock. You'll have to get an aftermarket one.

Glock does not make an extended slide stop lever for the 30S (or 41). The same non-extended stop lever (part number 30793) is used for the 30S and the G41 and no other Glocks... although it will work fine for them. Regular slide stop levers will usually work for the 30S & 41, but may allow the slide to jump off because of the wide frame/narrow slide combination. Part 1034 is not correct for these two guns.

The standard slide stop lever (non-extended) for the 30S & 41 is slightly wider at the top - giving a little more metal to catch the narrow slide on the wide frame.

From the Glock parts list: "30793 Slide Stop Lever & Spring - fits only the G30S,G41Gen4 (including MOS) (marked 30783-2) "

For Post 13,
I've had a Glock-brand extended slide-stop lever break, which I'd installed on my G23gen3, but I've broken many gun-things over the years which nobody else seems to have broken.
The good thing is I keep the old, original parts and the gun was up and running as soon as I got home where the spare original part was awaiting. I likely ordered another extended slide stop lever.

If you've used this part on other guns and never had any problems with it, you're probably good to go but some people with a high thumbs up grip have problems with the factory extended slide lock
lever.

Additionally, it's always good general advice to shoot the gun without mods first before changing anything so that you can make a fair comparison.
