NOT recommended for your carry/duty gun
Works as advertised. Speeds mag changes over a stock (non Gen 4) release. HOWEVER -- NOT recommended for your carry or duty gun. Protrudes too far for carry, can cause accidental mag release and potential to snag on clothing and some holsters.
small hands
this tear drop mag release works very well in my Glock 23 I have very small frame hands and I don't have to turn the handgun at all to release the magazine.the only thing i would change is that the tear drop have a secure screw in it it just clicks in and it feels a little flimsy.
Not bad..
Not bad, the pat might be a "tad" to big, if you are using a soft in the pants holster it can drop the mag from it pushing on you. My other clock with a factory glock mag extender, dose not have this issue. in a holster, it should not be any issue.
