Glock 19

[tai]

I have an Glock 19 and was thinking to put an Extended Magazine Catch, has any one use one of this extended magazine catch, who have this part in stock and if I get the parts can I do it my self or I have to send it out to a smith? Thank you

I had one and put it back to stock

It pushed against the holster and I lost a mag with Black Talon rounds while in the back country / Really Bummed out !!!!!

Dang....

That was expensive....

I agree that unless you're shooting Matches that require several mag changes in a 2 minute drill an extended mag release button is a pain in the
rear.

I almost lost another one with that extenstion.

this time it was in a shoulder rig ( A Glaco )
Was riding off-road in my Rhino , Belted in and felt it drop out

Caught that one in time .. That was the last straw
put the release back to stock/ Never another problem

They are easy to change out
About 4 or 5 min job / No special tools needed

Leave it stock

It's not hard to do yourself

In fact, if you search YOUTUBE.com you will find several videos on how to change anything on a Glock.

You don't have to take anything apart and the entire job takes maybe 38 seconds.

Diy. Yes you do need to test with your holster. I needed to pound an indent in my leather holster so it wouldn't release.

Thank you all, I will leave as is. Thank you

Wise choice.

I changed mine out with a Lonewolf part. Sucked big time. The lonewolf part doesn't really click like the stock one. I immediately took it out.

I think if you would like a little more reach than why not. You can always shave it down to what you want. It may be worth it to you but it wasn't to me.

I have Tango Down/Vickers Extended mag release for my Glock 19, its between a factory stock and the factory extended. It's mad nice with the release rounded of the edges. I have no problems with the magazine releasing accidentally. It fits well in my on duty Safariland 6280 and Kaluban Cloak holster. Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

I have an Extended Mag release on My Glock 19. i have never inadvertently hit it. but after a while i did file it down a bit and re cut the lines in it. It can be installed yourself very easy... you just need a small flat head screwdriver.

I tried an extended mag catch on a Glock 27 and didn't really like it so I removed it. It was basically a stock mag catch with a little plate that attaches to it with a couple screws, for more than $20. I still wanted the mag release to be extended though, so I installed a stock Glock mag catch for the 10mm/.45acp model Glocks (G20/G21 etc). The release button extends further out than before and best yet is that it only costs about $4 and is a Glock factory part so it works perfect. I rounded off the sharp corners of the release button with some sand paper. I have the .45acp model mag catch on all my 9mm and .40 Glocks and it makes it a lot easier to release the magazines without having to change my grip to reach the release like I would when they had the stock mag catches.

I have an extended mag release on both my G17 and G23. These are the Glock Factory extended release parts. They work fine and I don't have problems for what I use them for.
