I bought a Vickers extended mag release based on recommendations I read here at M4C and I couldn’t be happier. Installation took about 30 seconds and the product works exactly as it should. I have no problem releasing the magazine without adjusting my grip now. I just wanted to add my voice to the already swelling chorus of praise for this awesome product. 
I have them on all eight of my Glocks now and consider it to be required on any Glock. More recently I started running the new Crimson Trace LG-417 grips on my primary CCW (G19) and I can’t even imagine running CT grips without the Vickers Magazine Release.
I have been looking hard at the CT. Do you think running an x300 with the CT grips would be gtg?
Hell yes dude! I ran my CT grips and an X200 in the no/low light portion of the Ken Hackathorn class this weekend and it was definitely good to go. I shot better at night than I did during the day!
I had a big problem with using a handheld flashlight but my X200 & CT grips were the heat!
Well, I may have to try it. I caught alot of shit from some guys about having a weapon mounted light on my handgun until it came time to use sims and I was actually hitting in the dark and the guys using the FBI technique were missing every shot. I imagine a laser would help even more.

The Vickers mag release is mandatory on all of my Glocks.
I would like to try this. I only found out about the Vickers mag release after I had already bought a competition mag release from Glockstore.com. It works fine for me since I’m not LEO and I don’t carry my G23.
I’ve been using the LAV mag catches since they first came out. Great piece of gear and mandatory on all of my Glocks (3).
Any issues with rubbing/snagging/interfering with holsters? If not, I might have to try one.
What’s the difference between the Glock extended mag release and the Vickers?
Brownell’s descrip says Vickers is 3/32" longer than a std GLOCK.
EDIT: Updated this post as I didn’t see the “extended” part in what I was referring to. Sorry for the confusion.
Length. The Vickers is shorter. Think of it as a mid-length design.
C4
Also the Vickers mag release has filleted edges. Minor detail but it’s nice.
I echo everyone else who has said they are a mandatory install on all Glocks. It really is just the right size.
This, plus slightly radiused or beveled. I find that its a big improvement, and I have them on my 2 duty guns (22 and 27).
No holster fit issues; the G22 goes in a 6365 or 6280 with no issues. The 27 rides in a Tranzitt holster on my vest. Both have Raven holsters for plainclothes and off duty. No issues there either.
Bit of trivia: at my last armorer’s course, the instructor said that Glock made a short run of mag releases that were in between the stock and extended sizes for a government contract. IIRC, he said that the contract stipulated that the special mag releases wouldn’t be offered outside of that agency’s contract. Can anyone with more knowledge of this confirm or deny? Just curious 
Sounds like the FBI mag release I’ve heard about. Your description of short run and not offered outside the agency would explain the confusion about it.
I also run a Vickers on my 2 Glock 19s. Love 'em! They make a world of difference. Can’t put them in my Gen4 17 & 22 or I’d have one in them too.
Thanks.
Here’s a link that talks about it.

Not a whole lot of info, the typical “I’ve never seen it so it doesn’t exist” bs. Some guys telling him its the Vickers mag release.
I have a Glock 35 that came with the factory extended mag release but I just bought a Glock 17 and now I’m going to buy the Vickers mag release. Thanks for the info.
Any issues with rubbing/snagging/interfering with holsters?
Nope; no issues that I’ve yet to see.
