Feature Breakdown
Precision Machining for Reliability
The Tyrant CNC Extended Mag Release is cut from aerospace-grade aluminum for a perfect balance of strength and lightweight performance. Hard-coat anodizing resists holster wear and corrosion, even with frequent use. Tolerances are held to ±0.001″ to ensure smooth operation without binding or excessive play.
Ergonomic Efficiency
Extended length reduces the reach required to drop magazines, especially for shooters with smaller hands or those running gloves. The angled texture provides positive traction without snagging on clothing or gear. Unlike plastic OEM releases, this unit won’t flex under pressure during rapid reloads.
Drop-In Installation
No gunsmithing or permanent modifications needed—the mag release fits Gen 3-4 Glocks with factory magazine catches. The design retains full compatibility with OEM and aftermarket magazines. Install takes under five minutes with basic tools (pin punch and flathead screwdriver).
Low-Profile Durability
Despite the extended reach, the release sits flush enough to avoid accidental engagement during concealed carry. The anodized finish withstands sweat, solvents, and UV exposure. Machined relief cuts reduce debris accumulation in the mag well area.
Compatibility Notes
Fits all Glock models using the Gen 3/4 magazine catch system, including the 17, 19, 22, 23, 31, and 32. Not compatible with Gen 5 frames due to ambidextrous design differences. Tested with polymer and metal-base magazines (no modification required).
Installation Overview
Remove the slide and lock the frame in a vise with soft jaws. Drift out the mag catch pin using a 3/32″ punch. Insert the new release from the opposite side, ensuring the spring seats correctly. Reinstall the pin and function-check before use. No loctite or additional parts needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with aftermarket frames?
Compatible with most Gen 3/4-compatible polymer frames. Some steel or aluminum frames may require fitting due to tighter tolerances.
Will it wear out my magazines faster?
No more than OEM—the release uses the same contact geometry as factory parts. Magazine notch wear is typically caused by debris, not release material.
Is the finish durable?
Hard-coat anodizing exceeds MIL-A-8625 standards for abrasion resistance. It won’t chip or peel like cerakote or paint.
Can I use this for competition?
Yes, the design is USPSA and IDPA legal in divisions allowing external modifications. Always check current rulebooks for updates.
Does it come with a tool?
No tools included. Installation requires a punch and flathead screwdriver (common in most armorers’ kits).
Warranty and Shipping
Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. No warranty coverage for improper installation or modifications. Ships in padded anti-static packaging with installation instructions. Continental US orders typically deliver in 3-5 business days.
