The MCC Extended Glock Release is really starting to move.  We recently sent one out and this is the response we received.

I got my new mag release in the mail today.  No trouble swapping out the old release and installing the new one.  I love it!   It feels really good and is so easy to use.  Thanks so much.

All the best,

C.H.

MCC is the newest addition to the Ghost family.  As many of you the Ghost products are the best when it comes to doing a trigger job on your Glock.  They also sell some great mag releases and sights you may want to check out.  If Ghost has it we can take care of it for you from a sales and installation standpoint.  If you have been thinking about tweaking your Glock, now is the time!

If you are thinking about an extended mag release for you Glock, here are a few questions you should answer;

1. How will I feel if I bend over and my drop free mag goes flying across the floor of the supermarket? Warning: If you are not a skinny person, you have a very high likelihood of loosing your mag inadvertently. This is bad, but not the end of the world. Read next question for end of the world.

2. How will you feel if your gun only goes bang once? Same premise, only this time you weren’t lucky enough for the mag to actually come out, it just unseated itself when you bent over. Some unfortunate incident arises, and your gun only goes bang – click . . . .

3. Do you need a competitive advantage in IDPA or IPSC? It may be that you have smaller hands and could use the extra length of the extended mag release to gain a few tenths of a second in your reloads.

If you answered yes to question 3 you need an extended mag release. Question 1 and 2 leave too many opportunities for Murphy’s Law to show up. If you shoot a lot of competitions, it’s worth it to buy a gun dedicated to competition and to have one dedicated for CCW. Think about it. It could be your life.

Glocks are no doubt a fine weapons, and there aren’t that many modifications that really seem necessary. A few weeks ago, we talked about changing the sights and getting a trigger job. Today we are going to discuss the trigger job in more detail.

We offer four basic types of trigger jobs, but one of them is never requested, so really it’s three. The one never requested is giving the gun the so called “NY” trigger named for the NYPD who needed more weight than the standard Glock comes with from the factory. It can give the gun a 8# or 12# pull. I personally don’t know NYPD’s rational for this decision, but it has been reported that they wanted more of a revolver type pull thinking this would be safer for their officers who were transitioning from revolvers to the Glocks.

Now to the three jobs you might find useful. The first involves smoothing out the trigger, but doesn’t require the replacement of any parts. We simply get rid of some of the nastiness you feel in the trigger. You can expect a pull of around 4# to 4.5#. This is a great option for the person who carries their Glock as a defensive weapon.

The next level involves replacing the factory connector with a 3.5# connector. We use the Ghost connector for this part. This is the best option for anyone competing in IDPA who wants a better pull, or the person interested in carrying the gun for defensive purposes. It is completely stable, but provides about a 3.5# trigger pull.

The final option is a Competition Trigger Job. This job is only for competition. We replace the factory springs and connector to give you an extremely light trigger pull. This trigger job is fine for competition, but really shouldn’t be used on a carry gun. This job can get the pull to right around 3#.

Those are the basic options, but remember, it’s not a 1911. You just won’t get the same feel, because the designs are too different, but it will make a very noticeable difference.

If you have a Glock, you know that there are tons of accessories for your gun. You can get everything from grips to lasers for them. We often outfit Glocks with many of these modifications, but I want to tell you there are two that you should definitely consider.

First are replacement sites. The Glock factory sights are plastic. Many times the front sight can be knocked out with repetitive draws from the holster. Not many things on your Glock are going to break, but if there is a weak link from the factory, it’s the sights. Glock makes a metal version that your gunsmith can install, or you can have him install one of many great after market sights available from XS (Big Dots), Trijicon, or Meprolight. Whatever your preference, go on and take the plunge.

The other thing to consider, especially if you are a competitive shooter, is a trigger job. These trigger jobs are inexpensive compared to 1911′s, and can really improve the squishy feel of the trigger.

If you do these two simple modifications, you will have a great fighting or competitive pistol on your hands.
