Glock slide releases

[mikeyb]

Hey folks, looking for opinions on aftermarket slide releases for a Glock 21. Love the gun but going to start swapping out some parts to match my preferences, and the slide release being flat against the body gives poor traction/leverage. Would love something more pronounced. Maybe do a matching mag release as well for a bit easier actuation.

Who is using what?

I'm using factory extended slide releases on my 19 and 17 , pretty happy with them , I did talk to one gentleman at the range who did not like extended slide releases, something to do with his grip hitting or interfering with it .
I'm a southpaw, so , doesn't affect me that way

Vickers Tactical are the ones I use.

I just put a dab of 5 minute epoxy on it and let it harden while pistol is on side, release side down. It hardens with a little point. File to shape.

I like this idea.

As mentioned above, any extension is going to make it more likely that you will accidentally push the lever (up and/or down) depending on your grip. I have to be careful with my thumbs with the regular slide stop.
