wgj3 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 There's no chance that I would have found that on my own. Thanks! I want one yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Damn! they are already sold out. I need one of these for my open M&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggieddad02 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 mwm, this afternoon when I placed my order and saw they were sold out I called Stephen Pineau over at 21st Century Gunfighter and he told me that they should be in within 2 weeks and that they will fill my order at that time. If you are really wanting one you may want to go ahead and order so you have priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czambesi Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 is anyone here using one already? I may order a few so I will have one when I get my open M&P. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdphotoguy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'd love to get one for my M&P 9L, but can't do that and run Production. Thinking about one for my Limited M&P, but I like the fact that my Production gun and Limited gun are essentially the same function wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 looks good. Much nicer than the shorter than stock release on my brother's gun I felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Chris I should have mine by Monday. Hopefully, it helps my "short" thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS350Driver Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'd love one of these, but I shoot production, guess I need to buy another M&P for a limited gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'd love one of these, but I shoot production, guess I need to buy another M&P for a limited gun. Same here, its funny how a $25 part makes an M&P purchase so tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Wow Thanks! I'm doing production for now but soon enough I'll need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Rob Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Isn't this one of the reasons why the M&P has adjustable backstraps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The interchangeable backstraps will certainly help some shooters be able to get their thumb to the button without having to change the their grip during a reload, but having an extended button that is profiled to be easier to engage once you have the proper backstrap on your pistol is just that much better. You wan't have to mash the button all the way into the frame this way. I've already removed a tiny bit of material around the base of my factory button to make it feel a little better. I just shaved off a smidge with a new utility knife blade. The last contact I had with Costa said that it would be late this month before they were able to ship their current backorders. I thought it was a little odd that they charged me before shipping. I thought that most companies wait until they are able to ship your product before charging you for it...

NickO Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I too was charged already. Got this email today. Good evening Nick. Your order will ship when the Catalyst is back in stock. We expect that to be around April 15. Sincerely, Kirsten Costa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikesToShoot Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 For $4.05 you can buy a spare from SSS. (Heck, buy two.) Then drill a small hole and loctite a small screw it one. Nope, not pretty but works just fine. Make sure there's enough clearance in your holster, regardless of which extended mag release you use/make, so that the mag isn't released when the gun is holstered. A little filing will work just fine on Kydex. http://www.speedshooterspecialties.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_90_115&products_id=1015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I wondered if that was an option. What about drilling hole and inserting a small screw without a head for an anchor and then using epoxy or something similar to "build" up the button? I've never done stuff like this, but I have seen a few grips where someone has built them up with epoxy or a similar material. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never done stuff like this, but I have seen a few grips where someone has built them up with epoxy or a similar material. Thoughts? There's a metal bar embedded in the the mag release, so you can't drill too deep. You could drill a small pilot hole and insert a role pin, then build it up with what ever material you'd like. But at this point what's your time worth? It can only be installed in one direction, so the built up area has to be the same size or smaller than the original diameter. $25 + shipping and pop it in may look like a bargain to some, others that like to tinker may enjoy building there own.

Aggieddad02 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Sent an e-mail to Costa Ludus inquiring as to the status of inventory, I knew the demand was high. Got a reply that they are expecting the next batch around April 15 but would ship as soon as they are received. Hoping that they may get them sooner than later. On another note I just got my cast off my broken ankle and it may be a couple of months before I get to "run and gun" but plan to start working on draw time, reloads and target acquisition.

wgj3 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Well, not sure what kind of luck the rest of you guys are having, but I haven't seen or heard anything from this company that has been holding my $$ for a month or so now...
