Just picked up my new LCP. I'm having a problem with the little button to lock the slide back. Looking for information on an extended lever for a guy with big fat fingers.

Exactly what is the problem? If you are trying to use the slide lock lever to chamber the first round in a magazine you shouldn't be. You should pull the slide back and 'sling shot' forward by releasing it. Using the slide lock to release the bolt is not recommended and will prematurely wear out the part. If I'm way off, please explain further what the issue is...

Sorry. Agree there are good reasons to lock the slide back. My original comments were because many people try to use the slide lock to release the slide to chamber a round when it is already locked back. To the OP, I'm not aware of an after market extended slide lock lever.
