Thanks Wade,
I agree that the third party offerings are much better than the 8794, but
was trying to stay SSP legal. Nice lesson in the rules. I will take you
up on your offer and remind you the next time prior to our next IDPA
match. I will give the 8794 a try. I haven't had this gun long, but have
grown to hate the mag release pretty rapidly, especially after some
mentoring from Barry this weekend.
Thanks Again.

It seems so. However, unless you go to a major match, no one is going to
check.
Since I don’t shoot Glocks in SSP anymore, and I prefer the TangoDown
offering, I have several of these (8794) lying around. You are welcome to
have one.

That makes sense. I get it now. So bottom line there is no way to
off-the-shelf gun they sell, it does not appear to be SSP legal.
Thanks Again

Since that part (8794) does not appear to be installed in any

17 gen5.
I was told by Glock today that (8794) is the extended release for a
same MFG., But used as standard release on other models.
I would think that I would still be so since it is a snap in part,
is the standard part on the Gen 3 G34/35.
Do have this right?
