nelson1each Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Wife shoots a gen 4 Glock 35..it’s the Taran Tac combat master gun...the thing is pretty slick. Anyways she is not happy with the factory extended mag release as it’s hard for her to get it to release the mag sometimes...I messed with it yesterday and sometimes it gave me trouble too. I said no problem I’ll get a little longer mag release for you. Did some looking and obviously there is a bunch of options. So I figured I’d check here first for some opinions of what guys are running for extended mag releases on your competition guns. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hyve makes a nice one. Not overly extended like some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koteris Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I’ve tried most of them. Finally settled on the rockyourglock extended gen4 release with their reduced power release spring. Works great for me, and pretty inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul49 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Love the tear drop from Glockstore. Hope this is the right link. https://www.glockstore.com/Tear-Drop-Mag-Catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrocDowns Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I've always ran a ZEV looks quiet long but I've never hit it accidentally, big button too and sticks out there pretty good, i like it especially since i still cant hit the release with out breaking my grip but its long enough for me to hit it with my middle finger of my firing hand....yea i got short thumbs i suppose haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 FYI, that doesn't look to be the OEM extended mag release. The Gen 4 34/35 doesn't come with the extended release like the Gen 3 does. You can tell the extended mag release apart as the front edge of it is more rounded. The OEM extended mag release for the Gen 4 isn't as much of a difference as it is between regular and extended on the Gen 3, but for me it does make a difference.

Slalom45 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I have the FBI Glock OEM release on my Gen 4 34. It only sticks out a millimeter or so more than the stock one, but I'm very happy with it. (No cool look points though if that's important) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa-XD45 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Vickers is another option: https://tangodown.com/shop/vickers-tactical-extended-glock-mag-release/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlightning Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I tried a bunch and settle on the Vickers. Zebra was too sharp and cut my palm. Glockstore was too long and cause one mag drop. A host of other that I can’t remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee loo Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I like this one from ghost inc, https://ghostinc.com/gen-4-5-x-release-9mm-40-357-sub-and-compact-gen-4-5-x/ Been running it the past couple years on several guns, easy to hit without shifting my grip and no accidental releases.

A metal mag release has shorted the life of my magazines over the stock or an after market polymer release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
