Thread: Gen 3 extended mag release

  1. #1

    Gen 3 extended mag release

    Looking for some help here. A while back I saw a Gen 3 Glock with a rearward extended mag release much like a Gen 4. IIRC it was a company in Texas that did the mod and they had to cut your frame. I have no idea who made the part but again IIRC it was a one piece unit unlike the Aerotek.

    Anyone know what I'm talking about?

    Check Ghost Inc., not sure if it's what your looking for, but they make a couple.

    You can get an OEM (modified) Gen4 catch installed in a Gen3:

    I'll see if I can find the company that will do it.

    Craig,
    Here's one from LWD: http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.a...zine%20release
    I have it.

    I installed it DIY style on a frame that already had material removed from around the magazine catch. Dumb thing to do. It's why I started this thread: https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....-polymer-frame

    Still works great and I like it a lot... it's just butt-ugly right now.

    There's also the factory Oval mag catch.

    I believe the oval release was developed for some Israeli face shooters. There is a special machine in Smyrna, that mods the frame. Used infrequently.

    I only know because my left handed, Gen 3 shooting wife was interested.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    Dude Glock will not respond to my requests to cut my frame for the one you gave me.
