e-mishka Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I have Limited model and cant press on mag release without shifting my grip. I put slimest grips on there (eg extreme) still need to shift grip slightly. Did any of u guys extended mag release on limited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetorian97 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You can get a 1911 extender tapped or welded on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm planning to take on this task; I already procured a few 2011 paddles and the tap, took a stock small frame release, welded a big blob on the end to mill, drill and tap. I'll keep you posted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayougump Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It'd be nice if they made an OEM one to use in Production division:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetorian97 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have been known to drop a mag on draw. Im not 100% what it is but I think its me squeezing the stock mag release on grip acquisition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-mishka Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 With this mockup I can easily drop mags without shifting my grip. Difference is night and day. Week hand should not interfere with it as well. Next goal is to add some jb weld and run it like this in dry and live fire practice. After that its probably gonna go to gunsmith to sand, drill, tap and fit extended button. Just not sure which one to get. Any suggestions?

Mlussoro Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I had this same issue and instead of looking for an extended mag release i swapped the button to the opposite side of the gun and use my middle finger on trigger hand to drop mag, honestly i think im faster this way and doesnt get in way of my grip ! just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony S45 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have installed the Ed Brown Extended Mag Release Button on a few other guns for competition, but not on a Tanfo. However, Brown's button is not a paddle; its merely circular. It is checkered 40 lines per inch, .375 in diameter, and a 4-40 hex screw is included. About $11 from Brownells, Midway, etc. in blue or stainless. Should be drilled/tapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I like it. very tacticoool. also, like the grips. are they extreme? or henning? logo looks like extreme but they look fatter than the super thin extreme's i've got. I'd love something slightly thicker? or perhaps it's just the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-mishka Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 @kneelingatlas , any idea if mag release from cz tactical sport will fit large frame tanfo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 @kneelingatlas , any idea if mag release from cz tactical sport will fit large frame tanfo? Nope. The CZ release uses that two legged spring under the screw and the Tanfo release uses the trigger bar plunger for retention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
