Extended mag release

[rmabrey]

How hard is it to install a Glock extended mag release on your own? Im sure there is an instructional video on youtube.

 

[slow1911s]

Not sure. But, be sure to keep the standard one in case you don't like it. I have pretty big hands and can accidentally activate the mag release with two-handed grip.

I'll write out the instructions for you.

Step 1: Unload gun and show clear.
Step 2: Get in car.
Step 3: Drive to Bradis.
Step 4: Hand gun to Mark (shooter521)

That should get it taken care of.



(I'm sure its a very simple procedure, but I know I didn't %$&* something up this way)

Too bad you're so far away. I think Eville needs a shooter521.

Bradis just did mine. It came in at under $5 and it only took a minute to do. I couldn't be happier. I just saw you're from evansville. Good luck.

IF I lived close enough I would go to Bradis, There are shops here that will do it for free if I buy there, which comes out to be cheaper than ordering online.

I would like to do it myself as I want to familiarize myself with the workings of a Glock. I figure if the mag release is a pretty simple process it might be a good start

Utube has lots of Glock videos

Is it me or does the guy in the video not know his right from his left?

 

[jojoa55]

i would agree, but it was the best video i could find for the OP in the amount of time I had to surf youtube. It still gets the point across IMO.

It's VERY easy to do.

I actually swapped mine out every match I change my Glock 35 from Production mode to Limited this year, as I have a big button release and mag-well I use for Limited.

Mr. Rice is mostly correct, here. I've added the only part I see missing in his SOP.

I'll write out the instructions for you.

Step 1: Unload gun and show clear.
Step 2: Get in car WITH GUN.
Step 3: Drive to Bradis.
Step 4: Hand gun to Mark (shooter521)

That should get it taken care of.

Mods are not always perfect, sometimes they do leave out important details.

Agree with esrice.

They are extremely easy to install for an experienced armorer. It will take them less than two minutes. However, with that being said, I would not mess with it if I were you. With armorers readily available on this sight, it just doesn't make sense to risk doing it on your own.

Watch the video... even a caveman can do it...

I think when it comes to a Glock the best thing you can do is sit down and and just take it apart yourself to learn how it works. There's really nothing to them and the worst you can do is let the extractor spring fly out and lose it. If you run into trouble then visit the local armorer...

Doing this you get to learn the firearm literally inside and out and you will be a better shooter for it not to mention self sustaining.

There is no "extractor spring" in a Glock.

I can't count the number of parts I've had to replace and guns I've had to fix because somebody watched a YouTube video and decided he was a Glock Armorer...

 

[HICKMAN]

I resemble that remark


Think he was referring to the "Extractor depressor plunger sping"

Glock mat FTW


IMHO, when SHTF.... people better know how to work on their firearms.

This is why I'm starting a Glock parts kit, because it just may be me around to do maintenance.

Big button mat releases are the devil!!! THE DEVIL!!!

You know what I meant...heaven forbid somebody calls it by the wrong name.

While I can understand where you're coming from there is nothing wrong with someone learning on their own and calling "no joy" when they are stuck and seeking a professionals help (you for instance).

Be thankful then that "You Tube wannabees" are around to give you a reason to work.

The damn thing isn't rocket science...it's genius is in it's simplicity.

Except on my Limited gun and new Gen4 G23 EDC
