Description
The standard Glock magazine release is compact, which means most people need to adjust their grip to hit it during a reload. The Vickers Tactical solves this problem with a thoughtfully extended profile that sits between undersized and overbuilt.
What Makes the Vickers Tactical Stand Out
The TangoDown design gives you more surface area to work with while keeping things practical for everyday use. Unlike some extended releases that stick out so far you risk dropping the mag just by setting the gun down, this one lands in the middle. You get real reach improvement without the liability. The extended catch is just right—not too long, not too short—so if your pistol gets set on a hard surface, the magazine stays put. It also plays well with backstrap-mounted lasers without interference.
Installation and Durability
Installing this takes just a few minutes with a basic screwdriver. The part's made from injection-molded polymer, the same material Glock uses in the factory release, so it'll hold up to regular shooting. It works great for both right-handed users with average to small hands. The radiused edges mean no sharp points digging into your hand during use or catching on your holster.
Compatibility
This is for Gen 1, 2, and 3 Glock pistols only. It fits models G17, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 37. If you've got a Gen 4 or Gen 5, TangoDown makes a different version (GMR-003) for those frames.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Vickers mag release work with Gen 4 or Gen 5 Glocks?
No, this is the GMR-001 model designed only for Gen 1, 2, and 3 Glocks. TangoDown makes a different extended release (GMR-003) specifically for Gen 4 and Gen 5 frames. Make sure you're ordering the right version for your generation.
How much does the Vickers extend compared to the stock release?
The Vickers adds reach without being extreme. It's designed to improve handling for average to small hands without creating a liability if your pistol shifts in a holster or gets set down hard. The extended profile gives real improvement in leverage while keeping the magazine seated safely.
Is installation complicated?
Installation is straightforward—you only need a small flathead screwdriver and a few minutes. It's a drop-in replacement that doesn't require any frame modification or special tools. Many users find online guides helpful if you want a step-by-step walkthrough.
Does this work with backstrap-mounted lasers?
Yes, the Vickers is specifically designed to work well with backstrap lasers without any interference or fit issues, which is a nice feature if you run that kind of setup on your Glock.
