Sully C's Review of HYVE Technologies Glock Gen4 Extended Magazine Release

On a stock G19/45/47etc Gen5 model pistol, this may or may not be the newly redesigned gen 5 variant. Now even tho it might say Gen4, it is not only compatible with Gen4 & 5, but the newest produced ones directly from Hyve Tech have a MM or two extension on the inside lip that catches the magazines. This ENSURES, that the ledge on the plastic magazines from Glock will ALWAYS fully engage and never wear down. Most people don’t comment how metal magazine releases wear down the polymer ledge on a Glock mag meaning that if you eject them over and over again you WILL wear down the ledge making the mags no longer able to stay in the gun. The Hyve Technologies mag releases have taken this into account, and besides the Zev Technologies mag releases, these have the deepest ledge to ensure the proper engagement on the magazines everytime. Trust me I’ve gone through a ton of different mag releases over the years wearing down a ton of different magazines including even a magpul mag which is very difficult to do as their polymer is much denser than glocks. That said, this is now the ONLY mag release I will use besides the plastic Vickers Tactical, and the Gen3 Zev Technologies mag releases. Highly recommend these don’t be fooled by the other reviewers saying it sticks out too much, it’s too easy to actuate… it is not, it’s the perfect size and length and has the bonus feature of not tearing up your OEM Glock mag ledges. Now one reviewer said it didn’t work in their shadow systems pistol.. I have an XR920P and I can confirm they DO NOT work well or at all in the shadows systems guns. So for the shadow systems guns, I run the Vickers Tactical grey extended mag release and it’s works flawlessly with both OEM Glock mags and the shadow supplied magpul mags. The Hyve Technologies mag release is the first thing I install on ALL my new Glock pistols.
