TDean Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 It is an "external modification". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 Even if it is a Glock extended mag catch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 Does Glock make one? What models come from the factory with an extended catch, 34/35? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 TDean, Yes, the 34,35 come with an extended mag catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 ...and I think that the extended slide release is a factory option on the other models (small frame). I don't know that enough of them have been produced to meet the "production" limit. Maybe a large law enforcement agency or two has ordered their department's Glocks with the extended slide release...maybe not. My external modification would be to remove the extended and replace it with the standard size release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 The extended mag release on the Glock 34/35 is legal. Adding to ANY other model is not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Glock Racing Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 All Glock models can be purcahsed with the extended mag catch and slide lock lever. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Matt, How does one go about documenting this for USPSA when I get challenged for having an extend mag release in Production? Or, has someone already done this and it's a moot issue? (This is almost too good to be true - since it would fix the one major functional compaint I have with my Glock.) Thx, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Glock Racing Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 It would be hard to document but if you order enough pistols (like an LE agency) you can get pretty much any combo of parts on the gun. GSSF allows you to use any part ever available from Glock (including aftermarket) for thier Stock class. If its good enough for GSSF it should be good enough for USPSA. matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 Hey guys.. Maybe this will shed some light or add more confusion..but here is an email I got from Amidon on the mag release issue..and specifically Glocks In a message dated 12/31/01 7:34:21 PM Eastern Standard Time, stewart@gazette.com writes: > Is an extend mag release specifically disallowed if it did not come that > way from the factory Yes. Have a great 2002. John Hi Stewart, I was going over some of my emails that were sent in response to questions about equipment when I noticed this one, it appears that part of my message was deleted or I just did not type the whole thing. Anyway, I wanted to get to you with the complete answer. Yes, extended mag releases are disallowed, but only after market products. If it is a specific factory produced part, that is offered on another model of their gun, then it is legal to replace the part with the gun you have, with the part from a gun of a different model. Example, a Glock model 17 does not come from the factory with an extended mag release, but a model 35 does, both are legal in Production, so the interchange of the part is legal as well. Sorry for any confusion and I hope that this explains things better for you. DVC, John (Edited by eerw at 11:37 pm on Jan. 31, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Glock Racing Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Sounds like it's settled then. Factory ext mag catch and slide stop are allowed on all Glocks. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
