An extended slide catch lever can make the SIG P320 easier to manipulate, especially for owners who struggle to reach the factory control without changing their grip.

The AR-15 safety selector is a small control, but its geometry has a noticeable effect on how the lower receiver feels in the hand. Throw angle determines how far the lever travels between SAFE and FIRE, while the selector detent and spring create much of the resistance and tactile feedback felt during that movement.

A micro compensator adds relatively little length to a Glock, but the attachment method has a major influence on how cleanly the system integrates with the barrel.

The SIG P365 XMacro gives owners a longer, fuller grip than smaller members of the P365 family while maintaining the platform's relatively slim overall architecture.

The slide cover plate is one of the smallest visible components on a Glock 19 or Glock 17, but its location gives it an important role in the rear of the slide assembly. That makes an aluminum replacement different from a purely decorative accessory.

Extended controls are among the most noticeable ergonomic upgrades available for a Glock because they change the surfaces the shooter interacts with directly. A slightly larger slide stop, a more accessible magazine release, or a redesigned takedown control can make the pistol feel different without requiring major changes to the frame or grip.
