Worth it?

I've never seen an advantage to having one on the gun.  Never had an issue taking a Glock down.

I don't know why anyone needs one.  Someone with weak hands or doesn't want to break a nail, maybe?  Probably the same people that use those speed loaders Glock keeps giving me that serve no apparent purpose.

I use them, not because they are extended, but because they are machined (flat) instead of stamped. There can be an accuracy benefit because it is one of the barrel lock-up points. Flat is consistent and consistency is key to accuracy.


There has been a ton of discussion about it in the past. I figure that they're cheap, so why not.

Those who have them do they have any effect on holster choice or drag on your holsters?

Never honestly needed them myself but I suspect if you have arthritis it might make it easier to take down the Glock with them.

I find them much easier to use, and I use them on every Glock I have.



I cant get a balanced bite on my thumb and index finger, so while one side is all the way down, the other is cocked crooked and I have to start over.



I even got a stainless one for my 34 to match my stainless pins.

Waste of money, as are most "glock upgrade" IMHO, put sights on it.... and buy ammo is my train of thinking.

My factory one fell out with the spring, so I got what the place I went to had. I guess it is slightly longer. It has not fallen out along with the "improved" spring. I keep one extra these days.
