LikesToShoot Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 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.speedshoo...roducts_id=1015 Eight months after I've installed the screw and it still works great. (It should, it's a factory release with a small screw installed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Schwab Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Resurrecting an old thread...does anyone know of an extended mag release in works? If not I'm going the screw route. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have two of the Costa parts and they are working fine. But considering the cost, I would go the screw route if I didn't have them already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still using mine with a screw in it. Two items worth mentioning. 1) When you drill into your mag release you will hit the steel bar that holds your mag in place. Nothing to worry about because it's just imbedded in the release and you won't be anywhere near were it holds the mag. 2) After you have it drilled and start your screw, remove the srcew and grind / file the pointed tip off, this will let the screw go deeper into the mag release.

Ken_Bird Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 So so anyone know how to order one of these mag release buttons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kend Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) So so anyone know how to order one of these mag release buttons? Last I heard they were removed from their site because of the sudden rash of problems with the metal insert wearing and not holding the mag in place but I have nothing to confirm that. I hope to have the mold started for our new mag release button next week, the prototype looks good and we just need to get started on the mold so we can make a batch.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Having bought a bunch of stuff from SSS before I know and trust that you'll produce a good product and stand behind it. Do you have a price point for this item yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobwat Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 KEND, Please let us know when these are available. I would love to try one out. My hands are small and I have to readjust my grip to drop the mag. Thanks, Bobwat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
