Frequently Asked Questions
Will the TangoDown GMR-001 fit my Gen 4 or Gen 5 Glock?
No — the GMR-001 is designed specifically for Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3 Glock pistols. Gen 4 and Gen 5 Glocks use a different, ambidextrous magazine release system that is not compatible with this part. If you own a Gen 4 or Gen 5 model, check TangoDown's lineup for a generation-specific release.
Is the extension long enough to cause accidental magazine drops?
TangoDown engineered the GMR-001 with a deliberate extension length that improves reach without being so pronounced that it triggers accidental releases. In real-world use, setting the pistol down on a hard surface will not inadvertently drop the magazine — giving you the ergonomic benefit of an extended release without sacrificing safe retention.
How difficult is it to install the TangoDown extended magazine release?
Installation is straightforward and does not require a gunsmith. The GMR-001 is a direct drop-in replacement for the factory Glock magazine release, using the same fitment points and retention method. Basic field-strip knowledge and a punch or small tool to depress the retaining plunger are all you need to swap it out in a matter of minutes.
