| Anyone using the Vicker extended magazine release made by Tango Down? If so do you find it to be a worthwhile upgrade? |
I have done this as well, but now I don't have too. The Vkrs/TD is the perfect size and the finished product looks a whole lot better than my sorry WESCOG skills. |
Here you go: HERE They are longer than a standard mag release but shorter than the OEM extended mag release. The corners are also slightly rounded and not sharp like the extended ones I've tried. While I've never had a problem with the standard mag release I do run CTC grips on several of my Glocks and the stock is too short but the Vickers mag release is perfect while running the grips. |
It's a little shorter and the corners are rounded. As far as "not being worth the money", it's $12. Yes, it's $10 more than a normal extended mag catch, but it's still only $12. We're not talking about Short Dot prices here. |

Hey Mud, It is rounded and does not have sharp corners like the OEM part. I guess you could sand/file the OEM to knock off the corners. Also the height is in between the two OEM parts...right in the middle. The only problem I had with the extended OEM part was the fact that it would some times engage in my holster and my mag would drop. I like the vickers, cause it does not cause holster drama and allows my med size mitts to drop mags without having to readjust my hold. |

I prefer the following on my competition Glocks: T.H.E. mag release |
+ another.... A G21 release is $3.00 and is 'extra' length for a G17. takes a couple quick hits with a flat file and its 'vickers' length for $10 less. If the checkering on the Vickers is worth the $10 to you then by all means buy it - other wise just file down the factory part. |
