Gen 4, 5 Magazine Release Extension
review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
Installation was a breeze. It turned my 19 Gen 5 from a range-only pistol to one ready for tactical employment, from a two-handed magazine release endeavor to a smooth one-hand release. My confidence in changing mags quickly and efficiently went from a zero to sky-high.
I recommend it.
review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
This product is just what I needed. I have small paws and was unable to reach the factory magazine release without shifting my grip. But I no longer have that issue after installing the MCarbo mag release. This button sticks out much further and seems to require slightly less force to drop the mag. This improved geometry is a plus for me. It fits in the frame perfectly, and has good texture. Worth the price.
Should of done it sooner!

I just started getting into competition shooting and the ext mag release has made a huge difference!
Great mag release
review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
Had difficulty consistently getting the factory mag release. With my Glock 47. This one makes it easy. Doesn’t stick out too far and has great texturing!
Good move getting this
review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
Put this off long enough and got it. Easy install. I also got the notched spring tool and that made seating the spring a breeze. I have some modified pick tools for grabbing springs n things like this spring that made removal/install of the new latch a breeze. 5 min is all ya need and it's well worth the effort. Got big hands and the latch is just that tad bit more above the surface and quicker to release.

Quality, not only in service but with everything thing I have ordered from MCARBO. The extended mag release fits and works perfectly. For my sub 200; the trigger upgrade has made it a pleasure to shot as with all the other parts I have ordered. Will continue to order again from MCARBO.

Took about 3 minutes to install. Perfect instructions! This adds just enough of an extension to make mag changes with gloves easy. Doesn't interfere with any of my IWB holsters. Always quality products with these gents!

Yes — the Shadow Systems MR920P uses Glock 19 Gen 4–style frame geometry and magazine catch parts, so our Extended Magazine Release for Glock Gen 4–5 Pistols will fit and function in the MR920P.

Question:
Can you make one that is truly ambidextrous, instead of needing to be switched? A button on both sides so a righty and a lefty can use the same pistol. The slide lock is on both sides on a Gen 5; like that.
