Replacing Slide Release Lever M&P

[tyrebitr]

Got a M&P40FS and the slide release lever has broken. 3900 rounds and the left side tab is gone. It seems this is a well documented issue and replacing it won't be a problem. Here's my question, does anyone make a better one? Better in terms of durability and function. I use my left thumb to release the slide on reloads (when it doesn't release on it's own) and I would like one with a little more prominent grip.

Bump. 99 views and no comments. Anyone?

Could try Speed Shooters. They don't list a new one though. Might be worth contacting them.

Thanks!

As far as I know, no body makes an aftermarket slide release.

I have a factory one if you need it. (will probably need some minor fitting)

Thanks DaveR and dougwg. Called S&W this morning and they are shipping me one under warranty. I should have it in the gun before the weekend.:)

I thought for sure someone would have been producing an extended version by now.

The M&P slide release is a pretty decent shape already (much better than the stock Glock) and doesn't really need an extended version...

(will probably need some minor fitting)What fitting is required?

What fitting is required?

You'll have to wait and see.

The 2 that I had to install had to be tweaked to move freely.

dougwg,
Would you care to comment on the needed tweaks?
