Meli2127 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Does anybody have any information or the availability of a Right Side Mag Release for a STI DVC 2011? I had seen one on youtube that was for a 1911 that was posted 5 years ago. I don't seem to be able to find one. Just trying to find out if there is even one available.

Fo0 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Lone Star Innovations mentioned something about it after they release their grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Did you look at the Mitchell Custom right side mag catch? Good info here also: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz427 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I’m a lefty and I’ve been wanting to put a right side release on my two 2011s but the problem I’m seeing is mbx mags only have the cutout for the release on the one side, they’re not Ambi. Sti mags have the little window cutout on both sides so it would work with the mag release on either side. For both my 9mm and 40 I have a mix of mbx and sti mags. It doesn’t look like it would be to difficult for someone to cut the hole on the other side of the mags though, but still more work. As you can see in the pic here, only the sti mag is ambi, the mbx, and my sps mags are not so the hole would have to be cut on the other side. Again probably not very difficult, but these are expensive mags to make a mistake on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLLINSMITH89 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I emailed Mitchel custom 3-4 months ago asking to purchase a few, said he would put me on a list since they were back ordered. MBX now has an option to buy the magazines with a cut out on each side so they are ambi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The Mitchell works with standard cut out. You don't have to have ambi cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna have to look into that. One thing I really liked about my glocks was being able to switch the mag release side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The Smith & Alexander ambi Mag Release worked from both sides, Mitchell's just works from the right side, like a standard mag release just works from one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bdh821 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) The only grip I know of with lefty friendly controls... it’s a SV Infiniti steel grip. I sent all my MBX magazines back to the factory for the ambi cut in them. I ran the mitchel right side mag catch on my DVC open, and it wouldn’t always drop the magazine. I’d have to manually pull the magazine out on occasion which isn’t conducive to being fast on the clock. Lone Star Innovations may eventually make a lefty grip, but not yet. If you pester Glenn enough, maybe he will sooner than later Edited January 21, 2019 by Bdh821 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
