Rival Arms Extended Magazine Release for Glock 43 – Stainless

Description

The factory magazine release on a Glock 43 sits a little tight against the frame, and if you've ever caught yourself hunting for it during a reload, this is the fix. Rival Arms designed this extended release with a more comfortable angle that's easier to reach, while keeping the profile slim enough that it won't dig into your hand or get in the way when you draw and reholster. That balance matters a lot on a small carry gun, where a button sticking out too far causes as many problems as one you can't reach.

What Sets the Rival Arms Extended Mag Release Apart

This one is CNC-machined from aluminum as a single-piece part, which means fewer components to fuss with and less maintenance down the road. The stainless finish gives it a clean, bright look that plays nice against the black polymer frame if you like a little contrast on your build. It's a small upgrade in size, but the kind you notice every single time you run the gun.

Installing the Rival Arms G43 Release

This is one of the easiest and least expensive upgrades you can do to a Glock at home. You don't need to fully field strip the pistol, and no gunsmith is required. The one thing worth taking your time on is seating the included mag release spring correctly, since a spring that isn't sitting right is the usual culprit behind a release that feels mushy or hangs up. Clear the gun, separate the frame from the slide, swap the part, and function-check before you head to the range.

It's worth noting Rival Arms builds these as an aftermarket part and they're not affiliated with or endorsed by Glock. That said, this release is cut specifically for the Glock 43, so make sure you're matching it to that model and not a 43X or 48, which use a different part.
