Terrible! interferes with mag insertion. doesn't fit tightly against magazine well wall. - Tyrant CNC Glock Gen 2-4 Extended Slide Release

Frosty's Review of Tyrant CNC Glock Gen 2-4 Extended Slide Release
After installing this in my Gen3 G19, and before reinstalling the slide, I slid a mag with a dummy round into the mag well to verify that everything fit. The Tyrant Design slide release was sitting so far from the mag well wall that the edge of the mag caught on the angled part of the release, lifting the release up such that it would have hit the slide (if the slide were installed). I installed the slide and tried inserting a mag. Sure enough, the Tyrant Design slide release stopped the mag from being fully inserted and clicking into place. I tried both factory mags and magpul mags. The slide release was in the way of both.
I removed it from the G19 and tried it in my G30SF. It worked a little better, but still caught on the mag during insertion. I could get the mag to insert fully if it wiggled it around as I pushed. That's certainly not what I want to be doing at the range, let alone in an emergency.
Since I had two Glocks I was upgrading, I had also purchased a Vickers Tactical (VTSS-001) extended slide release. That product fit perfectly in both guns. The shape of the Vickers part shape fit snugly against the mag well wall and didn't come close to interfering with mag insertion. That proves the reason for the interference wasn't an inability on my part to properly install the Tyrant product.
So, I hopped on Optics Planet and bought a second one for the other gun. The Tyrant Design product is going in the trash. It's not worth even dealing with a return and I guess that might leave one less in the world for some other poor shlub to waste his money on.
Pros:
Absolutely NONE
Cons:
Doesn't do it's job
Best Used for:
Sitting on the shelf, unpurchased, at the manufacturer
