Get a Vickers extended release. Makes a huge difference.Finally got my first Glock, G19 Gen3. Not broken it in yet, but I have shot others.
Not real happy w the size of the mag release button. Anyone ever upgrade theirs?View attachment 554249
I read once that glock left the grip hollow, in the back, with the hole open, so that if it was submerged in water the water could easily escape out the bottom. Don't know how true this is. But, that same article said not to use the plug in the bottom of the grip because it would hold that water in longer and not allow it to drain quickly.Yep all mine get an OEM extended mag release... and a butt plug. $20 should get it done.

It probably does help drain some, but all the plugs I have seen aren’t really that sealed off, so water would still come out pretty easily. In the mean time, it does help keep some lint and grime out.I read once that glock left the grip hollow, in the back, with the hole open, so that if it was submerged in water the water could easily escape out the bottom.

Not a problem for me. I should have mentioned that I also seal around the plug and fill the void with CLP. Then I make a pinhole at the top of the frame and every time I do a tactical roll my Glock cleans and lubes itself.I read once that glock left the grip hollow, in the back, with the hole open, so that if it was submerged in water the water could easily escape out the bottom.

This is my experience too. I had a Glock 43 with a Vickers extended mag release and I took it off after a week. I would sit down at the chair and my mag would fall out. I would draw it from the holster and it would be hanging out slightly. I changed it back to OEM.Be very careful with extended mag releases....I have had several LEs through here with extended mag releases that will sling the mag out with an Aggressive draw stroke....................end up with a single shot gun......One was a DEHEC Agent that did it Everytime...
Actually, I believe it's designed to allow your thumb to get up in there for a forced mag extraction. It mates up with the crescent shaped cutout on the back of the mag well. But, I have no documentation on that.I read once that glock left the grip hollow, in the back, with the hole open, so that if it was submerged in water the water could easily escape out the bottom.

No, not many. Otherwise, there would be a whole industry on Glock accessories.Not many people who have changed out mag and slide release on Glocks.
You should rig up an automatic oiler, like a chainsaw. Then you can run it wet all the time.Not a problem for me. I should have mentioned that I also seal around the plug and fill the void with CLP.

Worded wrong by me- Not Many Haven’t changed out slide releases and mag releases. Glock knows people alter it yet they do not improve both because as stock less likely something goes wrong and they find themselves in a civil suit. Same reasons you get a 5.5 lb trigger on many gun brands.Actually, I believe it's designed to allow your thumb to get up in there for a forced mag extraction.

I too have backed away from some "high speed" accessories for reliability reasons.
I thought you were just being sarcastic and I was following suit.Worded wrong by me- Not Many Haven’t changed out slide releases and mag releases.

I'm sure if you own a Glock you're no stranger to a good butt plug already 🤣Yep all mine get an OEM extended mag release... and a butt plug. $20 should get it done.
Yes^^^^^^^^^^^no Gen 4s here....none bought or sold here.The 19 Gen 3 is the second best in my own personal opinion only to the Gen 2. They are simple guns that work & are reliable.
