Not quite as much a difference as I hoped

This mag release is an improvement over the stock release on my G17C, but not quite as much as I had hoped. Still glad I installed it, but if I were starting over I would order a more "extended" release. Installation was very easy, after watching a couple of YT videos.

Worked Well

This worked well on my Glock 19 gen 3. The stock mag release was way too short to comfortably use. This mag release was easy to install and made mag releases much easier.

Works Well

Provides a bit extension but not much more then original.

Makes Glock even better...

Easy install if you learn how first. Mine fit great. I put one in a Gen 5 G34 that was tight, but it's a comp gun. My G21 is my nightstand gun. Release operates smoothly. If you aren't paying attention to the eye they are not significantly different but this release requires slightly less movement to actuate without adding size or protruding.

Excellent Ergonomics, QC could improve

Excellent design and ergonomics. Nothing else on the market comes close to striking the exact balance between extra length and shape for ease of use and comfort for use and concealment. It does seem however that Tango Down's QC could be tightened up. One out of a few usually requires fitting to free up in the mag release track. You can run the mag catch/release down the face of a file, even on both sides until it fits well and moves against the resistance of the mag spring. An example of one that needed fitting was nearly stuck in place in the magazine catch/release track on multiple Glocks. It required excessive force to release.

Great product!!!

I like it, although it only "extends" less than 1 mm over the standard release button on my G17 3rd Gen, but it does feel a bit extended and after a few days I appreciate the little extension it provides: not too much so that you cannot accidentally release the mag by grabbing the gun too hard and/or awkwardly under pressure.

Good for a lower profile mag release

As a LH shooter I like the lower profile release. I have always trained to drop my mags with my index finger so I've never had any interest in reversing my mag releases. I also carry IWB and have had some issues with my holster belt clips (against the factory mag release) popping my mag out. I believe this will remedy that and also allow me to keep my release oriented the way I've always trained with them.

Positive mag release

The extra length gives me a more positive feel when depressing the mag release. The original Glock mag release felt like I had to give it more effort to release the magazine. The extended mag release doesn't interfere with my holster, or should I say the holster doesn't depress the mag release to cause the magazine to release. In addition, if you have a holster that doesn't cover the mag release, the clothing or belt have yet cause the release of the magazine. I recommend having this installed on your Glock if you can't feel the mag release or you think you use a lot of effort with the original mag release.

Does as advertised.

I wanted this just for the rounded edges but the extra length proved to be useful. When pressing to release magazine I get a stronger press. Makes magazine changes faster for me. Price should be $10.00. Even during a recession. Got to pay for Vickers namebrand.

HAVE SOLD MANY OF THEM

INSTALLED WORKS AS ADVERTISED.
