Glock 43 Extended Mag Release

[@waldothegreat100]

Easier way to do this. Use a dental pick not a screwdriver to get to spring out. Once the spring is out use a small plastic tube and slide it onto the spring. I use the bottom half of a ball point pen with the ink cartridge removed. Then you can just pull back an the old mag release will fall out. Pulling back slightly insert the new one and then just pull the plastic tube off. Use the dental pick or a screw driver to push the spring into place.

[@jlmrule336]

Thanks for the pointer

[@bruceesterline3170]

Good idea 💡

[@randywatson4735]

a trick: you can watch series on Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@carloakley6100]

@Randy Watson Yup, I have been watching on kaldroStream for years myself :)

[@issackylo2019]

@Randy Watson Yea, I've been watching on KaldroStream for months myself :D

If you’re wanting the installing part to cut threw the advertising skip to 11:06 you’re welcome in advance

[@enjoi51287]

Does this aluminum mag catch eventually ruin the stock mags? Just wondering because of the 2 different materials metal on plastic.

[@mikekrueger8310]

Nice simple instructions to get the job done. I just switched out the mag release while watching this video. Thanks!!!

[@108adipurusa]

Thanks for the detailed look at the mag release and spring. That’s what other videos on this procedure were missing, and it gave me the confidence to follow through with my first ever Glock mod.

[@tomkaufman3914]

Thanks to this video I managed the conversion,the new steel catch from shield works on my oem mags as well,very functional and positive on the click.I recommend this product since it works on both factory and S15 mags.

[@backwoodscharlie8483]

The back of the mag extension is what prints, Pearce makes a plus one like the factory extension. Keep yours.

[@bungalobill7941]

One of the most thorough part instilation videos I have ever seen

[@Old.Vet.]

Just installed mine... worked great with the aftermarket mag. But would not allow the stock Glock mag to be inserted. After inspection the metal mag release was digging into the polymer mag. Removed it and put the stock one back in and it functions normally with both mags. Done buying Glock jewelry.

[@actsfive30]

It would be great if there was a indent to get under the spring,I put scars inside my mag well trying to get it done on my 43x smh....

[@sosabandz]

Everytime he clears his throat he lies lmao

[@jeremymetcalf2502]

I did this, but I rotated the mag release while pushing it. It was a lot easier than trying to lift the pin up, and it didn't mar up my polymer.

[@farsalor2627]

Trickiest glock mod I've done but, thank you for this video to guide me through

[@tlwisner]

Thanks - removing the spring on my 43 made this much easier! Shield mag time 9+1

[@apologist3574]

I replaced this part in a Glock 43X without problems, but I just can't "scoop" the spring to get it to pop out of the factory release button and I have used various flat screw driver heads. It is not working out.... but then I watched another KZbin and realized it worked easier if I went with the screwdriver from the top of the gun frame instead of the bottom as Lenny did. I then used a hollow tube (like a pen case) to hold the spring back and inserted the new release button - the spring then popped right in with the screw driver..... done!

[@aadkins8286]

10.21 for mag release.

[@mickburrow8193]

Another great video! Thank you Glock store for making it easier.

[@chadosborne7864]

I really enjoy your vids Lenny but what’s up with how chewed up the area around that mag catch spring is? It was scratched and marred before you even started the installation LOL.

[@vtxdaryl]

It looks like he practiced before making the video or he changes magazine release buttons quite often.

[@wayneroy6694]

I like this button. My daughter has a PSA Dagger, the full sized model, so theoretically like a Gen 3 Glock 17. Do you have one of these rounded mag release buttons that would fit her gun?

[@WeisM3]

The only explanation that made sense. Thank you!

[@Deadpoolmasterchief]

I actually bought one of these for my g17 g4 and I love it probably one of the really useful products lmgs sells

[@dougwilliams44]

Ploymer vs Polymer = OK Aluminum vs Ploymer = NO NO Figure it out

[@mira4582]

Why?

[@Staticbrain]

​@@mira4582 metal is harder than plastic

[@davva360]

I like it but i have never switched a mag release on a Glock before because i have just never felt the need to do it. I assume its the same part for a 43x

[@dude...are-you-sure]

Lenny makes this look like a piece of cake. But for me this has got to be THEE MOST difficult part to install in any glock especially the 42 and 43. You're gonna need a heavy duty flathead and some muscles... I swear I will never take this mag release off it EVER again...

[@jaycowper]

Get a hooked tool, it is worth its weight in gold when it comes to switching out mag catches

[@jgharts4949]

Thanks Lenny! I enjoy your instructional videos. I bought my Glock during one off Obama's scares from your store and you had the best price from everywhere I checked. You didn't run up the price like the others did, thanks!

[@ra1708]

I do also but all of them to long

[@glkshooter6168]

Is it weird I kinda want a hellcat that says bad kitty on the slide lol

[@Ace-zd1dc]

Is it ok to have scratches on the frame after installing the mag release?

[@J0SCH]

Yes, very common

[@Tapered3414]

Good video and detailed about it; thank you!

[@gunguruedakaHugoDo]

Hi, Is it the same instruction for the 43X ? Thanks

[@philipsanfilippo8279]

I've bought these for all of my Glocks from you, Lenny. The G43 does not permit this to be installed as easily as you are showing it. Was this video edited down to make it look easier? I have been working at it for about an hour but the spring refuses to return to the notch. I'm pretty sure that the single stack magazine well is to blame. I would call the store, but as you know, no one answers the phones on the weekend. I am going to drive downtown in search of a gunsmith...

[@ricardomiguel8286]

It wasn't easy for me, I don't think I ever got the spring seated correctly before I went on. Doable

[@hammerdown8453]

TA TA Today JR!

[@weasle947]

Will this mag extention fit a Glock Model 27 ? if not ,do you have one to fit? Thanks weasel 94

[@stephenjett7838]

You do a glock 43 What about other glock like the 30 or the 36 Is it because you guys are in love with 9mm ?

[@noexcuses6727]

This one actually works !

[@jeremy67A]

When does the Nashville store open?

[@66justariot]

Does the metal mag release wear down the polymer of the magazine?

[@anonboi96]

Yes absolutely, I just had an issue with my G19x today where the aftermarket metal mag release wore the notch on the magazine that locks into the mag release so much that the mag dropped out of the gun after every shot. Do NOT mix & match the material of your magazines & magazine release

[@kapten32]

How long does that finish last? I'm interested in customizing my G23

[@billk2689]

thank you so much

[@stevenreynolds7219]

Very nice

[@Bubbah4200]

[@michaelweiner1]

What trigger is that?

[@freddimon94]

I fell asleep 10 minutes into the video and he still hadn’t started to be actual Job that the video is supposed to be about

[@Surge1045]

22 minutes for something that takes 30 seconds.

[@austinigbenebor5900]

[@CODproR19]

DO NOT BUY! Here is what happened to me. I bought a "Glockstore" Gen 3 extended magazine catch for my Glock 17L. I was really happy with it, it looked really good in red. I did notice that the magazine catch didn't catch the mags as the OEM part, but I didn't think much of it. I did notice since the beginning, that the Glockstore magazine catch was removing a little amounts of plastic from my magazines, but I didn't think much of it, everything was working fine with 9mm 115 grain ammo, with the exception of 1 stove pipe (Which I think it was because of the poor tolerances of the Glockstore mag catch) Here in my country ammo is really expensive (Around $25 for a box of 115 grain PMC range ammo and around $55 for a box of defensive Remington Golden saber hollow point ammo) for that reason I try not to shoot good quality defensive ammo. I might shoot a box every year or so. One day I shot that expensive Remington ammo (It is a 127 grain, not a 115 grain) I shot the pistol once and the magazine fell out, I shot it again and it fell out, I ended up shooting it 4 times and the same thing was happening. I changed to the Glock OEM magazine catch and The same story, all 8 of my NEW magazines (Which cost around $90 here) were damaged because of the Glockstore magazine catch, obviously my EDC magazine had more damage, but I can't trust my other mags anymore. I put a barely damaged Glock 33 round mag in my gun and the gun worked flawless, all 33 rounds shot perfectly (115 grain PMC, ran out of the expensive ammo) But Now I'm stuck with 8 magazine that might not be reliable, I also wasted money on the Glockstore magazine catch, and on all of that ammo that I had to use, in order to determine what was wrong with my Glock. Now I have to wait until I travel to the states, to buy some new magazines over there and I'll probably get a new magazine catch spring and a Gen 4 ejector just in case, so that my gun is completely reliable. Stay away from this, stick to OEM parts, when it comes to the magazine catch. Thanks Glockstore, you screwed me, I will have to use my old single stack Smith and Wesson for the time been.

[@e46_for_life13]

Jose O I've not had that issue. I've got them on my poly 80 v2 and my race glock 35. If I were you, I would contact them direct and let them know if you already haven't done that. Their support is awesome....

[@jeremymetcalf2502]

Aaannnddd this is why Glock made the part out of polymer to begin with. You can't use really well squared off metal on polymer, and not expect it to cut into it. Even if that metal is aluminum.

[@DC632A]

The best Glock is a fresh Glock straight from the box untouched.

[@richarnold1224]

Slide stop isnt great. The flared magwell is really nice on the Gen 5, so I am adding it to my gen 4

[@dougwilliams44]

Metal Mag Relaease is a DANGEROUS idea.

[@harrisonreed8995]

Has anybody ever heard the old saying “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”? So the next time you feel an episode of unavoidable diarrhea of the mouth coming on, just post the word “Imodium” and I’ll find you the closest all male escort service who will rush someone right over to hel who will force you down on your knees and your 30 day free trial of “mouth control” begins, starting with an hour of man meat in your mouth so the rest of the world doesn’t have to hear you!!

[@lucstah]

Ghost make a better plus2 looks better and it’s barely any difference in size

[@gabrielguimaraes5918]

Does It functions for a g42?

[@Mountain_Man]

I see you have probably shot this video many many many times by how fucked up the spot for the mag release is

[@jamesallbright3170]

Dont buy the red parts from this guy they come the wrong color red as in not bright and metallic looking but a dark brick red for the g19. Disappointed and the customer service is fine but they said they cant control the quality of red that comes out, sometimes it's dark and sometimes it's not! That sucks

[@dinosoarskill17]

James Allbright I personally think they should own up to that and return the ones that don’t look good to whoever anodized their stuff. But I think it just speaks to the quality standard they stick by, so I too refuse to to order their stuff after some reviews.

[@siilnr1250]

finally a gun for kids!

[@jonolson5397]

lenny is 100% high in this video

[@dougwilliams44]

Don't install a METAL mag release in a Glock. It will wear down the POLYMER mag NOTCHES..

[@hotdognobun]

There’s metal all over the place rubbing the polymer and has yet to wear on mine

[@rayburn8282]

No one asked you bro

[@JohnPaul-jn1fo]

This video could of been 2min long

[@clickerkilloftheweek]

Hey Lenny. I’ve loved your videos and you knowledge of flocks. But your company has the worst customer service I’ve seen. It’s really bad.

Wow that was one of the tackiest and most cringe 43s I've ever seen... Idk any woman that would not have chucked it out of the window and definitely out of her purse. I'm gonna bet her husband picked that out himself THINKING it looked nice for a woman...I bet he's got a long list of "gifts" like that lol... The "bad kitty" looked like a five year old tried some graffiti with a permanent marker

[@stanashbridge6988]

Bought both the Serrated Magazine Catch $34.95 and the Extended Slide Stop $ 24.95 for G43x +Tax and Shipping $75.68. Felt no difference from OEM Parts. Why do this?
