| Any preferences in extended mag releases on Glocks? |
|
Besides the longer stock length releases, there are versions that have a larger pad that extends to the rear making it easier for one to hit it with their thumb without changing one's grip. This is a major speed advantage over the simple extended ones. There are two major versions; one with a tab screwed to an existing mag release and one with a larger tab molded right into the part. I have a tab version, a T.H.E. extended mag release on my G20/21L.  It fits in the stock opening and works well, however, it does stick out a bit and could snag. I've never had it happen but it's certainly possible.  The molded larger tab is a better, all be more expensive, alternative. Lone Wolf's Mag Catch is such an example, however, it requires one to send their frame to Lone Wolf so that they can enlarge the mag release opening for their mag release. The mag release is $15 plus it costs and additional $30 and shipping to get the frame modified vs the $28 cost of the T.H.E. extension I have. Lone Wolf's design has a major advantage over the T.H.E. version in that it can't snag on anything because it doesn't stand out from the frame like mine does. I'll eventually get around to sending in my G20/21L frame to Lone Wolf to have it done. Likely this winter season.  |
