| Is $18 a fair price for the extended release installed? |

I highly reccomend this over the Factory Glock type with the tiny bump, this one really is extended. www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=282&title=BILLET+SLIDE+STOP+for+GLOCK%7e And if you need extended slide stop then your thumb is short and you need this also. The best. www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=1522&title=COMPETITION+MAG+RELEASE+for+GLOCK%7e |

I never knew there was another extended slidestop other thasn the one Glock makes. I have the extended Glock one and it is better than the stock one but I really like the one that D.Hineline linked to it looks just like the one on the S&W Sigma I used to have and I really liked that one alot. I can't beleive I never saw that before, thanks for the info guys |
| The Glock extended slide release is the least expensive, and you KNOW it works because it is stock on the G34. Eveything else looks cool but is also easily 2-3x the price of the stock stop. Also, once your pistol starts to get broken in, slapping in a new mag hard enough will cause the slide to chamber the next cartridge without touching the release. |

Not to highjack.... but Why would you need an extended slide release? I've never had an instructor that advocated making a habit of using the slide release because fine motor skills are diminished under the stress of a defensive shooting. The only thing I use my slide release for is to lock the slide back on an empty pistol. And since this is generally an administrative function, a fancy aftermarket release is not needed. |
