I would like to install a oversize magazine release on my (2nd generation) Glock 19.  Without going to the people who sell them, I'd like to know if this is an easy part to install myself and does it effect the reliability of the pistol in any way?  Who is a recommended dealer?  Or, is it recommended to have a gunsmith install -- which means around here I'd have to send it away!

It's very easy with a dental pick and a little patience.

This is the magazine release you seek: http://www.skdtac.com/Vickers-Tactical-Extended-Glock-Magazine-Release-p/tng.305.htm

Extended enough to make a difference yet not so much to drop a mag while holstered. If you need more, the factory Glock version is good to go too.

The magazine release is quickly swapped with just a small flat head screwdriver. There are plenty of youtube videos to explain the process.



I also recommend the Vickers mag release.

if you need a lengthened button, the JP Industries unit works very well..  I wouldn't recommend an extended or lengthened one for a carry pistol
