They are the same as what was on the guns! Yes, they are NOT the simple flat ones found on gen 1,2 guns. I had a G23 that I upgraded to the improved release years ago.
When I ordered these, I thought they were actually EXTENDED BACK FURTHER, so shorter hands could reach them easier. Apparently ALL newer Glocks have this type. Does anyone make one that stretches back about a 1/4" or more to the rear? I also ordered an extended mag release, Larry Vickers design, but have seen where some cops, have had issues with the holster making contact and releasing the mag while holstered or drawing. I suppose one could be ground down to a sweet spot that is less likely to do this. Any comments on either parts? I also upgraded to the marine firing pin cups FWIW. The Gunny made me do it.

Did you get the factory extended slide stops? Every factory made one I have ordered was about a 1/4" longer towards the rear and tapered.

Are you talking about the factory one with the little nub sticking out? I had one with my 22 and with a high thumbs grip I got lock back after every round.

Second link is the extended lever. As you can see, it is extended farther back. Also has a "nub" on it that sticks out further as well.

It looks as though the ones I ordered (through Midway) are identical to the ones I was going to "upgrade". The packaging doesn't say extended and the one on my SF, which is identical to the one I ordered stay within the plastic ridge that borders the bottom of the release that is molded into the frame. I believe they are factory replacement parts from what the Midway description says.

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryVery pricey seeing as how it is little more than a stamped part, compared to a forged, machined counterpart to like a 1911 upgrade. But that was what I had more in mind. They must have the market on these... I see Lone Wolf has tried to come out with one, but they screwed up on the spring length, so lots of negative feedback on them not staying engaged. Aro is what most people would want, just seems way over-priced to me. $15 or so would be a more realistic price. |

If I'm "MAD", it would be false advertising. Most people can know what that means if you've been around guns very long. In Midway's description: Glock Extended Slide Stop Release with Spring Glock 20, 21 and it's a factory Glock part. It doesn't say how much it's extended, but it would have to be significant to be called that. Now they show out of stock. I wonder if they shipped me the wrong part.

I just installed the extended factory slide stop on my Glock 21 today. Perfect compromise between the standard factory slide stop and the overly large aeroteks.

Glock extended on top, Vickers release in middle, Glock factory on bottom 
Look at how it extends past the elevation in the frame under it compared to the factory release 
You made an assumption without doing research. It is extended when compared to the factory release, just not as much as you assumed, and want wanted it to be. Got to do your research, man. |

MOVING ALONG NOW,......HAS ANYONE TRIED THE VICKERS EXTENDED MAG RELEASE?
Would it be prudent of me to do my homework here from the mighty hive? OR, is it much of an upgrade at all over the 21SF factory ambi? Thoughts, anyone?

Nevermind. I'm now realizing that this Glock, unlike every other Glock made, was the only one offered with an ambi mag release, which they have discontinued due to poor design and reliability issues. On a good note, Glock will trade out for a new frame with the standard mag release. Mailed it off today, along with a G23 slide for a set of NICE PRICED Glock night sights. (Mepro, I hear). But only $57 with a 15 year life. Hard to beat that!
