Lefty Glock shooters

[Beendare]

Any opinions on these aftermarket products?

Essentially trying to make the Gen3's lefty friendly- any opinions on these or anything else?


This is the MARS;Mag adv release system...works as an ambi mag release [with gen 4 mags]

Does an extended mag button clear your LH trigger finger?

Zev makes one too

What about the extended slide stop? Glockmeister version

I'am a lefty
The only mod I have done to my Glocks is the larger slide release
Trigger finger works fine for mag release and slide release
I have several gen4's and have not reversed mag release, sorry I don't buy any of the, we've got to convert glocks for lefties line

I bought a Glock 19 Gen4 for my daughter, and changed the mag release to the left for her as she was a lefty. She loves it. Maybe it is a simple solution.

Lefty here also. Use my trigger finger to release mag.

Extended mag release caused inadvertent magazine release, so mine is stock (I did round the edges so it doesn't dig into my finger).

Extended slide release, never use it, unless I'm locking the slide back..slingshot method all other times.

Sure....thats easy.....if the rest of us could buy a Gen 4....but we can't.

So far I have only done the trapezoid slide lock from Brass Stacker.
I like how it helps my fingers get more grip comfortably.

I just got the Gen. 3 G19, will have to take it out at the same time as my G34 gen. 4 and see if I want to adjust some of the other stuff.

I have the extended zev extended mag release on my g34 and it annoys my hand between my thumb and index finger I guess you can say the webbing.

Lefty here. Vickers mag release, that's it. I don't use the slide stop as a slide release.

Good catch, I edited to the correct nomenclature in my original post.....though it was obviously a typo with the link that followed.

Cmon, there has to be more Lefty's out there tweaking their stuff.....

Right side dominant here

I have taken too many training classes... took a few shooting support side- lefty.

No issues shooting a stock glock left hand

It's all about technique and learning to run the platform with either hand....

[joefrank64k]

Lefty here: I run my Gen 3's stock, and the Gen 4's with the mag release flipped.

HB,great post #13,


Its a must see for lefties.....the link to Matt Swansons vid on reloads. I've watched it at least 20 times since you posted it on the other site

I thought glocks ejected straight back to the forehead?

No tweaks necessary for mag drop, I simply use my middle finger with a G34 mag-catch (extended). No issues with inadvertent mag drops and no other issues with it.

Slide stop is another story, you need to move the pad forward for it to be of any use. Since my Glocks are used for USPSA Production only, and modifying in this fashion is not allowed, I use the G34 slide stop and a weak enough recoil spring that seating a mag usually drops the slide as well. And try not to go to slide-lock. That helps a lot.
