Anyone have the extended mag release for the glock? I love the gun except when I am trying to switch out mags. The extender definitely looks like it will help out, but after looking at the pictures I am wondering if it might be too big. What are your experiences out there? Also, how hard was it to install?

I find them necessary and have them on all my GLOCKS with exception of the model G26 carry gun. I have difficulty with that one as well but don't want to increase the width.

If your a lefty it's a major pain in the ars. It'll cut the base of your trigger finger. If your a righty, then I have no idea cause you guys do everything backwards.

Hey Ray... I thought lefties were suposed to be smarter than righties...

Not sure which one you're looking at, but I have this one on my 19:

It is, IMHO, the perfect size. Installation is pretty easy.. a small needle nose plier came in handy for me but all you really need is a small flat head screwdriver.

Next time we hang out, you should check out the mag release on mine. The edges aren't sharp like the stock one.

How is this better than the OEM GLOCK Extended release?

I have to buy three and would like the better mouse trap.

From what I remember of the OEM Glock extended release, the edges are the same as the standard length release, which are unnecessarily sharp.

I don't have the exact measurements of either release, but if memory serves me, I think the Vickers release is a hair shorter than the OEM extended.

But, like everything, it's subjective.. when I was first looking at Glocks (1.5 years ago give or take), I felt one that had the OEM extended release, and just didnt care for it. So I gave the Vickers a shot, and it just felt right to me. It's not THAT much longer than stock.. but just long enough that it's a noticeable difference.

I'll try it out Pete this Tuesday, bring that bad boy. I don't think I'll be souping up my Glock, it's fine the way it is out the box.

Ray- Are you referring to GLOCK PERFECTION?

 

Boy you weren't hard to win over...
