So how hard is it/how much does it cost to replace the slide release on a G17 with an extended one?

Also what is the advantage of an after marked guide rod?

An extended slide stop can be purchased anywhere from $10-$15. It is quite simple to replace. Have you ever performed a detail strip of your frame? Regardless, here is a vid.

Personally, I don't see a need for the said. However, many people do.

With regard to the aftermarket guide rods . . . At one time, I swapped out my factory recoil spring/guide rod assemblies for aftermarket ones. Eventually, everything went back to the factory configuration. I didn't realize any productive benefits.

I bought 3 for all my glocks for $8.00 each. I got them from here but they don't have them listed. Give them a call. http://www.gtdist.com/Default.aspx Ask for Justin he knows the right one to get for you.
