Description
The Timber Creek extended mag release replaces your factory button with something that actually makes magazine changes more intuitive. Built from aircraft-grade billet aluminum and finished in flat dark earth anodizing, this part is engineered to last through serious use.
Why the Timber Creek Design Matters
The main benefit here is ergonomics. Whether you're running drills at the range or doing tactical training, having more surface area to work with means faster, more reliable mag drops. The extended paddle sits just far enough out to let you release mags without breaking your grip or repositioning your hand. For guys with larger hands or shorter thumbs, this becomes almost essential. The textured finish keeps your thumb planted even when you're moving fast or working through a course under stress.
Installation and Build Quality
This is a drop-in replacement that swaps out in minutes with just an allen wrench. No special tools, no gunsmithing required. The machining is solid throughout, and the anodized finish resists wear and corrosion. It's designed specifically for Gen 4 and Gen 5 Glock 17 and 19 models, so you get a perfect fit without any guesswork. Timber Creek manufactures these in the USA, which shows in the fit and finish.
What Makes It Different
The flat dark earth coating gives you a modern tactical look that blends with modern gear and builds. Unlike some mag releases that stick out awkwardly or create drag in certain holsters, the Timber Creek profile integrates cleanly. The button sits at an angle that feels natural whether you're drawing or reloading, and the size is extended just enough to matter without becoming unwieldy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the extended mag release work with my Glock holster?
In most cases, yes. The Timber Creek extended mag release has a profile designed to work with standard holsters, and the extended paddle typically sits flush enough that it won't catch on leather or kydex. That said, always test with your specific holster before carry. Some older or more fitted holsters might need a small adjustment, but the vast majority of users report zero holster issues.
Do I need a gunsmith to install this extended mag release?
No. This is a straightforward drop-in swap that takes about 10-15 minutes with just an allen wrench, which is included. You'll remove the two small screws holding the factory button, slide out the old release, insert the new one, and screw it back down. No special tools or knowledge required.
How much larger is the Timber Creek release compared to stock?
The extended paddle offers noticeably more surface area than the factory button, which is the whole point. It's larger without being bulky or awkward. Most people find it makes a real difference when doing fast reloads, and it's particularly beneficial if you have larger hands or just want the extra reach without repositioning your grip.
Will this work with both Gen 4 and Gen 5 Glocks?
Yes, the Timber Creek extended mag release is designed specifically for Gen 4 and Gen 5 Glock 17 and 19 models. Make sure you have one of those generations before ordering. It will not fit Gen 3 or earlier models.
