eboggs Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I shoot a gen 5 with mag release in stock position (left side) I release mag by shifting my grip and using my trigger finger. I am not a fan of switching the mag release to the right side. However, sometimes I find it hard to aggressively shift my grip enough to actuate the release, be it due to the aggressive stippling or grip enhancer normally used during matches. Anyone have an idea what extended mag release would help maybe move some of the buttons real estate forward to allow a more consistent release without shifting grip too much rearward?

AHI Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 pull slide back release. I can not remember in 30+ years of competition using the slide release. Actually have removed all the extended/ oversized . Slide stop/releases and replaced with the smaller versons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runnin2live Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 As a fellow lefty shooting a gen 4 with extended release, I use my middle finger with just a slight grip change. I practice a fair amount with single shot and mag change to try to build the muscle memory. I’ve never been one to swap mag release to thumb side, I think it would confuse me with the use of other guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I’m a lefty and shoot Gen3 and Gen5 Glocks. I install extended mag releases on all of them and use my trigger finger to drop mag. Never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I have several Gen 3 Glocks that I shoot. (17, 30, 26 & 34) I've always just used my trigger finger and slightly changed my grip to release the mag. I've never liked the extended mag release. In the last couple of years, I have found other platforms that are lefty friendly, but the way I drop the mags on Glocks will never change.

Braxton1 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 If you can find Glock part number 33713, that is the biggest OEM Gen4/5 mag release that they make. It's pretty big on the front end of the button, which would serve your purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
