| I had an extended slide stop & mag release on my Glock G 22C ( I bought it with these installed) just for the hell of it today I switched to the stock controls, im thinking I like the stock ones better, what do you guys prefer? |

Generally I prefer stock over the Glock extended controls - I find the extended slide stop too easily activated and the extended GEN3 magazine release sharp and uncomfortable. I run OEM standard slide stops on all of my Glocks. Several of my Glocks have the Vickers extended magazine release, which I find less objectionable than the Glock factory extended. I find the Glock GEN4 extended magazine release closer in length to the Vickers/FBI releases, and currently run one on my GEN4 G17.
In the end though, this isn't a one size fits all question. I know guys (and gals) who have trouble reaching the stock slide stop, and for them the extended controls are a critical upgrade. Similarly, I've seen shooters with larger hands send the slide forward on empty magazines because they inadvertently activate the slide stop. I seem to recall reading that David Sevigny would configure his G34 with a cut down slide stop to prevent accidental activations. For these folks, extended controls could be a liability. |
