I had totally forgotten how user-hostile the standard factory Glock mag release was.
Had the G19 out and was running rounds through it and... dang... I had to roll that thing around in my hand and poke the crap out of it seriously and deliberately to get the mag to drop cleanly.
Should I mess with some of the "tactical" releases, or can I just go to a 17L/34 release without worrying about my heater spitting its mag out every time I holster up?
I've installed the Tango Down mag release in all of my Glocks and recommend them without reservation.Originally Posted by Tamara
I'm a big fan of the Vickers \ Tango Down Glock mag release as well. It's that third bowl of porridge. Not too short, not too long - just right. The factory extended one is just too long, and led to some magazines dribbling out as you mentioned.
My usual EDC is a G19 with the Vickers. I also like the slide stop\ slide release they make.
+1 I think this one is the best balance among them. But I note DocGKR prefers to dremel the Glock OEM extended to taste. That sounds pretty good too.

Shoot your tacticool M&P and forget the Glock? lol. I have to roll the Glock in my hand to reach my stock catch but I also measure my reload time on a sundial. I have very limited experience but I thought the stock catch on the gen 4 was WAY better, which may have been due to the shorter reach with the thinner grip front to back.
^ +1 to both the Slide/Mag Catch/Release made by Vickers Tactical / Tango Down
Me + Dremel = Regret.
Dremel+lone wolf round mag catch=awesome
Dude, when Brownells asked "What is your most commonly used gunsmithing tool?" my answer was "Money."
I fixed my stock G26 release by replacing it with an HK
