Options for Glock 19 Gen 3 mag release

[Sheepdog1968]

I have a Gen 3 Glock 19 that is a range mule pistol. I shoot it a lot, take it to training classes, compete in USPSA matches, etc. I find the factory mag release to sometimes be difficult to press. What options exist to replace it? I really don’t like swapping out factory parts outside of sights so I really am ignorant on my options. Any guidance you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like you want a little more extra? If you are partial to Oem mag release; then the Glock gen 3 Oem extended competition model mag release which is standard for the Glock 34/35 competition model.

If you don’t want that much extra. I prefer agency arms extended mag release for Gen 3. It’s a one piece alumnium. But its length is about slightly less than half way between a standard Oem and competition Oem; so not too much and not too little where it’s a middle ground compromise.

These are just the ones I prefer because it’s worked out after installing.

Some guys also like to round out the edges of the Oem competition extended mag release to bevel the sharp edges.

Oem competition
Agency arms extended aluminum
Oem non competition model

Glockstore extended mag release or strike industries extended mag release. I have both, glockstore works just fine. Strike industries has a wider paddle and looks cooler imo
