This "Extended" magazine release leaves less profile than the stock magazine release on G19 gen 4s. Better to use the original and save marring the inside of the mag well.

Alternative - Poor Mag Release Extension

In response to some of the negative reviews, I have the same issue. It is awkward to press the mag release button with your thumb (right hand shooter) without changing hand position. Instead of the "extension", I switched the button to the right side. Without shifting my grip, I was able to use the middle finger (don't flip me with it please!) to easily press the button and eject the mag. All hands are different, but worked for me. Try it.

Extended Mag Release?

This part is well made and easy to install but before installing this in my Gen 1 G17, I compared it to the original mag release and it was exactly the same size! I couldn't believe it! I installed the new Extended mag release into my G17 and it felt exactly like the old one. With the old mag release, I had to change my grip to reach it with my thumb. I was expecting not to have to do that with this product but I STILL had to change my grip in order to reach the new mag release. Maybe I was expecting too much? I just installed Extended Mag releases on my 1911 and Beretta 96FS and those were actually EXTENDED and I didn't have to change my grip to release the mags. :/
