Mag Release Button
Written by TOM KLETZOK on Nov 1st 2025

Excellent quality with product!!! My mistake, was to have another gunsmith drill and tap the OEM mag release! He screwed it all up! Should have had you do it. It's all proper now and I am happy .

Excellent Mag Release
Written by Matt Sobolewski on Aug 16th 2025

Had an extractor break shortly after I installed this mag release, so only reporting on a couple hundred rounds of use. But this mag release button has worked well. In fact, it worked so well, it seemed like I had on the gun for years already. It took only a couple dry fire reloads and a few live fire and I felt fully confident it would work for me. Fit and finish are solid, and the ergonomics seem perfect for my hands. Nice addition to this gun (Staccato with a Cheely grip).

What can I say just perfect. Not so big I hit it with my support hand But just long enough to easily be reached. A+++

Rock Solid

Fits well and is easily adjusted to fit any hand/grip. Bought this for my first custom build and I'll be buying more for any future guns. Finish was solid and not easily scratched 10/10.

Great product. My thumb did not quite reach the release on my new Platypus. I ordered this and had a local gun smith drill a hole and threaded it. Now it fits my hand perfectly.

Made a big difference on the reach of the mag release. The way it is shaped really allows for mag dumps with less grip manipulation .

Gen 2 Extended Mag Release Review
Written by Clint on Mar 6th 2025

Without a doubt, this is the best mag release I have used. This mag release was designed for a DS 1911, but it fit perfectly on my single-stack Commander 1911, I just had to notch the grip for clearance due to the low profile. I have shot 200 rounds and haven't had an accidental mag release. There is no interference with my kydex or leather holsters. You will not be disappointed with the Gen 2 Button. I need one in silver now for my stainless 1911s.
