Akkid17 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Has anyone tried this with the springer mag release? I may have one that I can get for cheap rather then messing up my factory release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this to the factory release and it fits without holster modification. The springer may have way too much height and cause you to accidentally drop the mag when your holding the gun. Factory mag releases can be ordered directly from Sig or you can find kits on eBay for like $16 if you need another...could always find clearance grip modules and buy them just harvest the mag buttons from them. Turn the module into a silly flashlight holder or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did one with the springer mag release also since the metal is soft like butter with my carbide drill bit. The extra length of the springer release made the height too tall and prone to accidental activation of the mag release. I cut about 2-3 mm off of the springer and made a spare one just in case I buy the legion. However, I ditch my plan of buying the legion because of the LCI cut and also to save some money and bought the Txg grip module instead. Then, I just transferred the GG trigger, tungsten guide rod, 1911 recoil spring and Romeo 1 6moa dot from my old X5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpm2953 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Did the mag release on my legion today. I annealed it first. Then stuck it in a Mill and milled the “ridges” off so it was smooth then drilled and tapped it. I used a G10 Shadow 2 mag release from LOK. Much better!

Heliarclee Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 is the paddle magazine release legal for production or carry optics? My thumb is just a tad to short to reach the mag release without really changing my grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page 109 section 21.6 (carry optics in this case) states "Sights, firing pins, firing pin retainers, pins, extractors, magazine releases, slide stops, thumb safeties, triggers, hammers, bushings, and ejectors MAY be replaced with OFM or aftermarket part" and doesn't specify the profile of the part being replaced. For example I put a GoGun *thumb rest [generic]* on my X5 and it doesn't count as a thumb rest because it's a modified slide stop/release. You're not changing the core function of the component, only modifying it for ease of use in a way. As @MemphisMechanic has mentioned in this post (or another post that this mag button has been mentioned) some of these have carried over to Production as well. Just need a magwell to be in legal in CO and it'll be true poor mans open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Production and Carry Optics you can now run gigantic hot pink race hammers, safeties, triggers, tremendous thumbrests... and carve the grip up to your liking. Have at it. Just don’t bend the magwell open to form a funnel or add a thumb rest it. And you’re good. Edited September 25, 2019 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a metal fabricator, but doing one at a time by hand would take a while. May talk to a buddy of mine to see what it would cost to have them mass produced. They could almost be modular, either a stock size button that is extended or a paddle style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellino19 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Just keep in mind, the only problem with doing this to an extended release such as the springer precision one is that your holster will need to be modified to fit it. I didn't have to change a thing on either my Comp Tac or RHT holsters with the OE sig release and the G10 shadow 2 button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
