Looking for input on best single piece magazine release extenders for Glock (17, 19, 23) Gen 3. Any experienced feedback is greatly appreciated.

I use the glock extended mag releases

I've had these on all my Glocks for a while now, but now I'm changing them for the Vickers Extended Mag Releases as they have rounded edges and the ones by Glock protude out too much imo and have sharper edges that can get caught up in fabric.

Get the Glock extended mag. release, but lightly knock down the sharp corners & edges with a file before you install it.

I totally agree - by far the best value for money. I have one on every Glock I own. Perfect for my shorter fingers.

+1 for the glock OEM ext. mag-release, i have it on all my glocks and couldn't be happier.
i reduced the overall length a little bit (now it's somewhere in between the original short mag-release and ext. magrelease, let's say 4/5 of the ext. mag-release and cut the serrations new and filed the corners a little bit), now it's perfect for my hand- and fingersize.

+1 for Vickers, although you could get an OEM extended for cheaper and reduce and shape to your liking.

I suggest the Glock extended unit, and suggest filing the corners completely off of the part prior to installation.

If you don't, it will snag on most everything, not to mention very uncomfortable to manipulate.

Good luck

Another vote for the Vickers, my favorite I have used thus far.

Here is what the Gen 3 Vickers looks like.

I agree that the Vickers is more comfortable but with my cabbage patch hands I need all i can get I can get haha. It's worked for me for a while now. I'm glad you guy are suffering from my short fat hand syndrome!

Vickers on all my Glocks, Gen3 and 4.

Some great responses. Thank you all!

I am going to try the OEM extension first. Low investment and I have a feeling I will shape to my liking. I have gig hands, but need just a little more to protrude to get pushed in quickly without fumbling. They will arrive on Saturday.
