one thing ive noticed, as a relative noobie trying out gun models left and right, is that the mag release buttons on glocks are horrible.
i tried out a few models at the range prior to buying (as the glocks always win on paper, but trying them IRL is the final test) and i noticed that when i push the mag release with the thumb it is mushy as hell,sometimes i push it all the way in and nothing happens. i figured it must just be the uncared for rental guns with tens of thousands of rounds.
then my friend bought a new g19 (on my recommendation), upon handling it i love it except that when i push the mag release nothing happens. had to literally jam it in unnaturally to get the mag to reluctantly slide down.
since then ive had an XD (where i had to literally use two hands to force the ****ing mag release to eject the mag) and tried several other glock models at the range, all of which the mag seemed extremely hesitant to come out even when the button is depressed fully.
the reason this is an issue to me is that when i push the nice extended mag release of my cz75b, there is a clear 'break' and the the mag shoots instantly out. consistently, every time. apply pressure, the mag shoots out. this would actually be a big deal in a real life 'event'...i could instantly pop the mag out of the cz and slam another mag in and the slide will automatically chamber the 1st round..meanwhile with the glock id be pushing the button in and the mag would (only at COMPLETE DEPRESSION) would reluctantly, slowly slide slowly down.
anyone else notice this besides me? its the little things that count, and ive deifinitely noticed this and its a big time drawback to the line imo.
