Aftermarket Mag Release?


splashdown

Recommended Posts

I have had good results with the following releases and would recommend them without hesitation

G17 sized frames

1. JP Enterprise (USPSA/IPSC Limited Open)

2. Glock G20/G34 Factory Release (IDPA all divisions)

G20 sized frames

1. Lone Wolf Distributors Extended (USPSA/IPSC Limited Open; IDPA All Divisions)

BTW, I have tried just about all of them and quite a few are in the never used parts box.

Ryucasta,

Have you tried the one from Top Glock? You know, the one that comes in alum or brass and has two long little screws that hold it down. That's the one I was leaning towards, but then I re-read the JP and I see it's serrated so the extension locks onto the main part of the mag release. I think I like that.

If memory serves me correctly an extended magazine release shouldnt be an issue in the SSP division as long as its an original Glock part (I.e. G20/21 release in the G19 frame).

Thanks for that. I will look into one.

Yeah, that is true.

I have used the JP and the SJC.

I love the JP on the 21 due to the thickness of the grip the tear drop shape is great how it angles back.

My open 9 has the SJC, and while do not have as much experience with it, it is a large target to hit and I don't have any issues with it yet.

Guys, I have very short thumbs, and I do have major problems reaching the mag release on my G35 (extended already).

What mag release comes the furthest back, yet does not cause problems with table tops starts and other accidental release situations?

For my grip, cant use them, I wind up squeezing the gun too hard with weak hand and mags keep comming out. the best one is the factory glock mag release, the long one that comes with the g34/35

I moved the position of the release and increased the spring pressure and I haven't had a problem since. I was dropping them out too. Nothing worse than getting that great draw only to have the mag drop free during present. :P

There's a new version that should be available June 15th that has some good points...longer than stock, not quite as long as OEM extended, nicely shaped. Designed by Larry Vickers and manufactured by TangoDown:

I like the T.H.E. mag release. I use it on my Glock 35. shooting L10 and Limited.

I got T.H.E. mag release as well and like it. I have one on my 35 and 21. Slightly off topic, I know several people carry T.H.E. accessories but who actually makes them? in other words how do I contact the source? I'm starting up my own gun biz and would like to distribute there stuff. Any direction would help, thx.

I have THE MAG release on a limited 35 also.... as of late I started to increase my left hand pressure and now I am dropping them out like crazy!

But I have large hands, so maybe it could work for you.
