Upon unboxing, it's evident that the new mag release's design differs slightly from the standard Gen 4's. The Ghost Tac's area doesn't stretch to the magazine release's edge like the Gen 4 does. After a brief pause, I showcased the original factory mag release alongside the Ghost Tac. The new design extends out just enough to enhance grip, without being obtrusive. After installing the Ghost Tac, I demonstrated its ease of use. The extension provides an improved grip when releasing the mag, eliminating the need to adjust your hold on the gun. Additionally, the design is slightly beveled on the edges, preventing any snags. While there might be variations in beveling among pieces, this mag release is a valuable addition to any Glock.

This is an extended tactical mag release designed specifically for the Gen 4 small frame Glocks that accommodate the 9mm, 43, 57, and 45 GAP calibers. The package included an informational insert. To demonstrate, I ensured my Glock was clear - no bullet in the chamber and no magazine inside. Comparing it to the standard Gen 4, this new release has a different design with serrations towards the back, allowing for easier thumb reach. The Gen 4's mag release is nearly flush with the frame, making it harder to use without adjusting one's grip, especially for someone like me with smaller hands. The Ghost Tac S, on the other hand, protrudes just right, enabling a secure grip on it for a swift mag release. I've been using this new part for a week now. With a snap cap in the gun, I showed how convenient it is to release the magazine from a shooting position without needing to shift my hand. Occasionally, my hand placement obstructed the mag, but overall, the Ghost Tac S made it simpler. I've carried it this way for about a week, and it's comfortable without any accidental releases. If you face issues with the Gen 4's mag release, consider this $15 upgrade. It ensures a smoother mag drop without grip adjustment.

I'm not worldly in the conversation of glock extended mag releases but I'm impressed with this add on. Not a big add on the person. I am definitely going to grab one for my other Gen. 4 on my next order.

A small amount of fitting required—a little time with different tooth size files. The lip on the backside was slightly too long to allow the release to reset completely after dropping or inserting a magazine—just enough resistance for the spring not to be able to reset on it's own fully. The extra length of the Glock extended mag release didn't cause any unintentional magazine releasing with the holsters I tried (Tucker Gun Leather Secret Strike, Suarez Archangel v3, Blackhawk CQC). With my stubby thumb, I had to reverse the stock magazine release and use my index finger. With this, I didn't need to retrain magazine releases when using a Glock.

For me, the main selling point of the Gen 5 Glocks is the better grip texture and the large mag release. Unfortunately, Glock designed it such that the most accessible part (the rear) doesn't really protrude at all. So, it's larger, but pointless because you still need to reach up and hit the front of the mag release. The Ghost mag release just makes sense. It's not hanging way out there and getting in the way. It's just large enough to make it easy to use without breaking your grip and the rounded front contours to the rest of the frame, so it doesn't get in the way. Seriously, for the price, this is a no brainer. There is A LOT of high priced Wizz-banger out there, but I've not convinced any other mag release provides any more utility than this one. Buy it. You won't regret it.

It seems to be the perfect size for the Glock. Extends significantly further out than the OEM release yet not intrusive when manipulating and firing the weapon

This Glock extended mag release is great. It sits a little more proud than original but not enough to engage while firing weapons accidentally. Install wasn't that bad, just need good light so you can see what you are doing. Makes releasing mag a lot easier and positive. I recommend and will put in any additional Glocks I obtain.

I have tried an aluminum one from the Glock Store, and the Vickers tactical plastic one then settled on this one. All three fit perfectly held the magazine securely, and released it cleanly. Although I thought the aluminum one had the best amount of material for the extension, it scratched/gouged my plastic Glock original magazine, so I removed the aluminum one before it damaged any of my other magazines. A friend then told me metal mags use metals releases; plastic mags use plastic releases. I replaced it with the Vickers one. The Vickers one did not damage the magazines at all, and it features a more rounded/curved "button," which felt nice and looked great, but it didn't have as much material for the extension as I like. The Ghost one was the best of all worlds, fit perfectly, didn't gouge my magazines, held them firmly in place, released them cleanly, and it has the amount of material for the extended button that felt the best to me. I went with the black version to keep my "factory" look.

This is the 1st purchase made from Ghost, and I can assure you it won't be the last. We have been extremely impressed with every aspect of this company. AND they sent several awesome stickers! As a lady, I was having difficulty giving my Gen 4 G19 stock mag release the "old' reach around." I would fumble, and it significantly slowed down my tac mag changes. Bye, Glock stock and hello Ghost! My thumb can now easily reach and depress the release. The design is sleek, simple, and most importantly, functional. My passion is teaching defensive pistol training, and I see a lot of students burn time hunting for the sweet spot to depress the awkward stock mag release. The ladies are going to love this! As well as the men. Ghost has my vote!

I ordered the Ghost TAC Extended Glock Mag Release to make it a bit easier to drop mags for competition shooting and it was just enough extra to engage it better. This Extended Mag Release was easy to install in my Glock 34 gen 4.

The factory magazine catch on a Glock 19X was too small and caused me to adjust my grip to apply enough pressure to release the mag. NOT GOOD!! Nevertheless, I replaced it with Ghost TAC(S) EXTENDED MAGAZINE RELEASE FOR GEN 4 & 5 before I finished a 5-hour training class that centered on reloads, stove pipes, double feeds... IT WAS AMAZING!! I did not have to change my grip, and it was low enough not to accidentally eject prematurely. Haha, I said that — excellent product for hard to find G19X products at this time.
