Default .357/.40 slide lock button

Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket extended release handle for the fullsize .357 slide

Actually it is slide stop S&W does not recommend to use it as release...
EDIT: sorry, back to original question - I haven't seen any aftermarket slide catches for sale; the best bet probably would be midway, they have lots of parts for all kind of makes and models.

Just rack the slide, it is much easier to do that than to try to press the slide stop to attempt releasing the slide!

That would be ok in a range session but not in a competitive match...seconds count and two handing it isnt an option.
