Remove & Replace the Slide Release

Fig 1

On either side of the frame you will

find a slide stop that must be pulled

down to allow removal of the slide.

See fig 1

Making sure the weapon is not loaded

pull the trigger to decock the weapon

using you left hand as seen in fig 2.

Pull the slide slightly to the rear while

pulling down on the slide stop tabs

with your left thumb and forefinger.

While you have these pulled down

push the slide slightly towards the front

of the weapon, when you are sure the

slide is free remove it from the weapon.

After removal of the slide the next step

is to remove the locking block pin and

the trigger housing pin. This is accomplished

by pushing out each pin from the left side

using your Glock Armorer's tool. A punch

of the correct size my be used if you do

not have an Armorer's tool. First remove

the top locking block pin, next remove the

the Trigger Housing pin. If you have any

resistance DO NOT force the pin out by

tapping on it. The slide release spring may

be sitting in one of the groves in the pin.

See Fig 4. Gently move the slide release

back and fourth while pressing on the pin.

If this does not work you will need to slightly

lift the spring out of the grove. Once this is

accomplished the pin should come out easily.

Now you are ready to put your new extended slide

release in. Before you slide the release in you must

replace the top pin which is the locking block pin.

After replacing the locking block pin slide the new

release in and replace the trigger housing pin. Put

the slide back on and you should be ready to go.
