Slide stop

A slide stop, sometimes referred to as a slide lock, slide release, slide catch, or bolt hold open, is a function on a semi-automatic handgun that both visually indicates when it has expended all loaded ammunition and facilitates faster reloading by pulling back the slide or depressing the slide lock to advance the first round of a new magazine.
