Extended Controls
Cheap and fairly easy upgrade. I've used glocks with extended magazine releases and they're nice but I don't really have a problem hitting it on my G17. If anything I'd go for an extended slide release. When your slide locks back in a stressful shooting situation, it can be surprisingly hard to find that slide release. Granted, the most stressful shoot I've been in just involved an instructor screaming 3 inches away from my ear  He really didn't like it when I sling shott'd the slide on a reload.

I am running a Vickers mag release now and although it does help I still have to shift my grip to engage it. That said I wouldn't go any bigger for a carry gun.
That need to slightly shift your grip will keep you from accidentally dumping your mag on the deck under stress and for the vast majority of people they are not going to be slowed down on a reload in realistic conditions. |
