DianabolandDeadlifts Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Just picked up a Gen 5 G34 and the mag release is short, nothing like the OEM release in my Gen 3 G34. I don't like it all. What are you guys working with that is USPA/production IDPA/SSP legal? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slalom45 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I agree. The factory Gen 3's were fine with me. The 4s/5s are larger, but don't protrude as much. I've run the Glock FBI release and the Tangodown by Vickers. I prefer the Vickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amerflyer48 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I have the “FBI” one on mine as I also use it for GSSF stock division (must be all Glock parts) the Vickers May go on my New Limited build as the FBI is only 1mm more protrusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianabolandDeadlifts Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thanks guys, stumped on this, why not as much protrusion on the Gen 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12glocks Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I agree they are too short. I have installed the factory extended mag releases in mine. There are compatible with the Gen 4/5 guns. Its like a $6 part and probably only 1/6"" longer. I am not into super extendo controls anyway like on some guns.

harleymac1 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Anyone have any experience with the HYVE product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWfront Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) I don't really like talking negatively about a product I've personally never tried so I won't but I will say two shooters I know both had issues with all metal releases after heavy use and went back to all plastic. The one I saw up close looked like it was damaging the notch in the mags themselves where it locks in. Edited March 16, 2019 by NWfront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastlane604 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I have the NDZ Performance Gen 5 extended mag release for my G34 Gen 5. They sell a couple different lengths. Mine is most extended. It is aluminum. $15. I have not noticed any problems with it, but I have only put a couple hundred rounds through the gun since installing it. Good purchase and extended enough to get on it well.

DianabolandDeadlifts Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Thanks for all the replies. I just gave up and bought another gen 3 g34 for backup. Will sell the gen 5. Now I have exact and can swap parts if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
