| These are way better than the stock Glock regular and extended magazine release! What does the hive think...... I think it seems to be a big improvement, a must for all Glock owners ,also reccomend the Glock extended slide release and trijicon night sights to make for true Glock perfection! |

Quoted:
How does it differ from the OEM extended release on the G34/35?? The OEM extended release is very long. It can cause a mag to be ejected by laying the pistol on a flat surface on its left side. The Vicker's release is as long as possible without allowing this, and helps a lot with dropping a mag if the factory standard requires a bit of a grip change for you. |

IIRC aren't the G34/G35 mag catches just regular G21/G20 mag catches? No, there not. Different part number and different size. You can not put a 21 mag release in a 9mm 40 or 357sig lower and vise versa. On another note you can not lay a Glock with factory extended mag release on it's left side and eject a mag. If you DROPPED it hard enough or layed it on it's side and pushed down on the grip you PROBABLY could eject the mag. I run factory extended in all 18 of my Glocks and I dearly love them. All these internet myths are just that. They may be to long for you comfort level and you may be better off with the Vickers, BUT financially you would be a lot better off buying factory extended and shorten to your specific needs as they are a lot cheaper. The Vickers release is NOT built one fraction BETTER than the factory unit, it's just shorter and that's it. |

It is a perfect fit for me. I do not like the factory extended as it is both too long and too "sharp" in my opinion. Some things are worth paying a little money for- to me this is one of them.
I do not like extended slide releases as I am a powerstroker and train and play as such. In fact I have shaved down the factory ones to keep my big mitts off them. |

I seem to remember that laying the pistol on its side and applying pressure would eject the mag since the gun rests on the extended release. I don't use them anymore so I defer to your experience with them. Do you find that the extended release presses into your left hand uncomfortably when shooting with your left hand? This was what I bothered me most about them. As you point out, an OEM extended release can be modified for length and at a cost savings over the Vickers. I just throw a Vickers in there and forget about it. |

I just throw a Vickers in there and forget about it. Hey there not for everybody and thats probably a good thing. When shooting left handed the factory extended release actually sticks out between my trigger finger and my middle finger. I dont even know it's there until I go to exicute a mag change with my middle finger. I don't know why I do it with that finger, it just seems to come natural for me and I never think about it. Holding the gun and looking at it, I can see where a persons hand in another configuration could experience gouging from it shooting lefty. Thankfully I have no issue with it and we often have to fire weak hand in IDPA matches. |
