TangoDown GMR-001 GT Extended Magazine Release for Glock - Tan
- Firearm Make Fit:
- Glock
The TangoDown GMR-001 GT Extended Magazine Release for Glock is purpose-built for shooters who want faster, more intuitive magazine changes without repositioning their firing grip. If you've got average to smaller hands, or if you just find the factory Glock mag release awkwardly placed for your natural thumb position, this extended release solves that problem. It's a straightforward swap that makes reloads smoother during training, competition, or defensive practice.
Built from the same durable polymer as Glock's factory part, the GMR-001 GT extends the catch just enough to be easy to reach—but not so far that it risks accidental release if your pistol is set down hard on a bench or holstered. That balance matters. The radiused design keeps the control comfortable under your thumb, and the extended profile plays well with backstrap-mounted lasers, so you don't have to compromise your accessories or sight picture setup.
Installation is straightforward; no gunsmithing required. If you run a Gen 1, 2, or 3 Glock, this drop-in replacement is a small upgrade that adds up in real-world handling. It's one of those parts that seems minor until you run it, then you wonder why you waited so long.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Glock generations does the GMR-001 GT fit?
The TangoDown GMR-001 GT is compatible with Glock Gen 1, 2, and 3 pistols only. It is not designed for Gen 4 or later models.
Will this magazine release interfere with a backstrap laser?
No. The GMR-001 GT is designed to work alongside backstrap-mounted lasers without interference, so you can run both accessories together without conflict.
Does the extended catch risk accidental magazine drops?
No. TangoDown sized the extension to be easy to reach while avoiding accidental release when the pistol is laid on a hard surface or during normal carry and handling. The balance between reach and security is intentional.
How difficult is installation?
Installation is a simple drop-in replacement requiring no gunsmithing, custom fitting, or special tools. If you're comfortable performing basic Glock maintenance, you can install this yourself.
