The Wilson Combat Extended Slide Release (brand part number 7S) is a Satin Stainless upgrade for the 1911 platform, built with an extended paddle that lets the right thumb activate the slide release without breaking the firing grip. Wilson Combat finishes the part in a matte stainless glass-bead finish and machines it from an alloy built for repeated hard use. Because the paddle is only slightly larger than the factory part, it requires only a minimal grip change to reach, which can save real time on a reload compared to racking the slide by hand. It fits all standard 1911-style guns in .45 caliber, though Wilson Combat notes minor fitting may be required for a perfect fit on some pistols.
