lugnut Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I shoot a G34 which comes with the extended mag button. I know I can also use the "std" button that comes with the G17 which is much shorter. I think it's illegal (not 100% sure) for me to modify the the extended button with the G34 to make it shorter but are there any other factory buttons that are somewhere between the short and extended ones?

spanky Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'm fairly certain there are only the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-ManBart Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 No mods that I am aware of. Glock is now offering a mid-length mag release. We're getting them on all our issued guns standard. They're about an even split between the normal and extended versions. I've had all of my guns swapped over to them so far....they're "just right" for a carry gun.

Duane Thomas Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Glock is now offering a mid-length mag release. Oh YES. They're about an even split between the normal and extended versions I assume then they're a bit longer than a Vickers. How are they on a table start?

I don't have a Vickers to compare, but I'm pretty sure they'd be fine on a table start...I'll check and update if it's a problem, but I can't imagine it would be.

lugnut Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 No mods that I am aware of. I think you are correct... however I wonder if you could legally make an "internal" modification to the extended mag release button... another words cut it internally and pin it back together so that nothing is modified externally. Extreme maybe but it can't be too difficult. At least until Glock makes the mid length available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I don't know...under the newer Production rules. You might look that up. As the shooter, it is now on you to justify any changes as being legal, I believe. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I checked mine on a table and it should be no problem at all. I set it down and pushed and it didn't pop the mag. I was on the range all day, but tomorrow I'll send a note to try and get the part number. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-ManBart Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I just checked and the mid-length mag release is marked "6351" on it. I don't know if that's the actual Glock number or what, but that's how it's marked. I had my G23 switched to that release in Dec of 2008, so they've existed for quite some time.

Aircooled6racer Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hello: You can also tweak the mag release spring to make it lighter and use the stock length mag release if you are afraid of table start/mag drop. I may try the mid length one also Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Thanks GMan. I called Glock and talked with April. She couldn't find the part number and I can't find anything that looks like it on the order form they sent. If anyone can crack this case let me know. It's funny how we can all get so excited about a little piece of plastic... just because of silly rules.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I do find it odd that it is ok to stipple the grip but it is not ok to break the corners off the mag release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny what practicing table starts on a slab of concrete can do to those corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what you're describing, I have to wonderful if the Vickers Tactical and "Glock's new mid-length magazine release button" aren't simply the same thing by another name.

Duane- here's a pic of the Vickers Tactical release... it certainly doesn't have the numbers on it the GMan saw: http://www.botachtactical.com/vitaexglmare.html I just hope it's not the same so it can be used in competition.

Duane Thomas Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 If it's a Glock factory part, whether it's identical to the Vickers Tactical or not, it's legal. But the question is, would the Vickers Tactical also be legal, if it's dimensionally identical - in essence the same part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 I think there is a burden of the shooter to prove that it is an available part from Glock... that's what we need for USPSA anyway. I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
