It's got the ambi release. Anyone else experience this?

What generation is the gun?
Not all mags are cut for the ambi release.

Ambi release was a huge piece of junk for glock. I sent in my frame for repair and they sent me a frame back with the regular release, different serial number and all. Told me the ambi was all problems and wouldn't stay fixed.

The only ambi release I’ve ever seen work was on the HK USP. Even on expensive custom 1911, they were sketchy, and the gunsmiths I spoke with all disliked fitting and having to guarantee their operation.

Plastic magazines and plastic magazine catches are not steel. I’ve seen so many cases of people spending loot and losing hair over their damn pistol, which holds only 15 or 17 rounds. They add a bathtub buttplate to increase capacity 2 rounds, then wonder why things go south. I don’t worry because if pistol totes less cargo than the next guy. My mission is to get from A to B, not see how fast I can’t get there. When springs are flattened, or there's barely room for the catch to engage a slammed magazine, the whole arrangement is stressed for failure. When a plastic mag catch or plastic mag dubs over, the part is junk.
Ahh, but the stressed parts hold more ammo!
Case in point: the Glock 27 is a fine little pistol. So said, the mag holds 9 rounds. The last round is a bear to load, and strains the Manual of Arms. The pistol is happier with eight, with less strain on the seated magazine.
As I have no experience with an ambidextrous mag catch on a Glock, my take may not bear on your 21SF magazine catch, or magazine. Problem may be a design or manufacturing issue. My caution applies to learn the road you drive. David Bradshaw

When are they coming out? I had a serious problem where my Gen 4 21 would drop mags when shooting hotter ammo. I had to "fix" the magazines with some surgery. Still a massively irritating issue Glock could fix with metal magazines and metal magazine releases.

Yes it does but it does you no good having to pick it up out of the dirt and shake it before trying to seat it in your gun,AGAIN. Trapr

Ive not spent much time with the gun. This just reared its head. Ive read about what'll fit in this but not that and it doesn't apply. Truthfully hoping Glock will replace this with a new non ambi grip frame

I had the issue on one of the G21SF SWAT frames. I ordered a new magazine catch and changed it which solved the problem. Glock quit making the part hoping that all of the owners of these guns would return them for a frame replacement. Most owners returned them. While I don't consider any Glock a collector piece some of these all original guns have sold for over double the new price. I run mine set up as a .460 Rowland now and have zero issues. Rowland came up with a stick on shim that goes on the side of the magazine that removes the slop and ends the problem. Depending on you mag and gun you may only need one spacer out of the set.

The entire mag release broke into a couple pieces and fell out of my gun. I went with the new frame.
