igolfat8 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) A friend of mine is looking for an extended mag release for his M&P because he has a short thumb. I can’t find any paddle style releases. Any suggestions? I don’t want an extended mag release that just makes the button longer but rather a release that puts the button further towards the rear of the pistol.

SteelCityShooter Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I'm left handed and I can't reach most "ambidextrous" or moveable mag releases with my thumb without changing my firing grip. I always leave the button on the standard left side and I've gotten used to pushing the release button with my trigger finger. It's easy to reach, fast and assures your finger is off the trigger during reloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saab Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 YES Switch it to the other side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igolfat8 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Thanks for the advice but he is looking for an aftermarket add on that is paddle shaped which in effect moves the mag release point closer to the strong hand thumb. I have one of these for my Glock but he wants one for his M&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recoilchamp Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Your best bet might be tapping a hole and adding something like this: https://www.egwguns.com/mini-paddle Not sure how well the plastic on the stock release will hold up, though. Also one issue with the extended paddles is that your left hand can more easily accidentally hit the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger finger still comes off the trigger, just less contorting the gun in my hand. And I don't need to modify anything if I'm using an unfamiliar gun.
