chrisjohn Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Has anyone used an Ed Brown standard magazine release with the oversize button? I’m setting up a STI Spartan and don’t like how far I have to switch my grip to release the magazine. Will this interfere with my weak hand grip? Thanks for the input.

JakeMartens Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have one on my limited gun and I don't hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I use it on my single stack and like it quite a bit. I had to relieve the catch with a file a whisker for smooth insertions. I really like brown components and would love a gun from him. seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyshooter Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 i have one on a kimber target match that i'm shooting in ss. i have one on my L10 gun with an extended "paddle". the kimber has nice checkered grips that i didn't want to file. i have to rotate the grip a little more than my L10 gun, but it is much easier to reach than stock. if i fumble much, i'll file the grip to clear the paddle, but at least i have that option.

I have pretty big hands and found that about 10-20% time I would dump the mag going to weak hand. For me, it was just not worth it. If your hands are smaller, give it a try. You may want to avoid a light mag catch spring though. Later, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I have one on an STI Trojan and really like it. It's not so big that I hit it with my support hand, but it's easy to find. I also have one on an ancient single stack Open gun and it worked great there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works fine for my hand size w/o getting in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hello: You could also look at the Wilson mag release with the arm/lever on it. You will have to releave the grip a little for it to work. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Gundry Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I installed a WC on my Spartan - I love it, but it took a fair amount of fitting. The Spartan needed quite a bit of deburring on the inside, and the grove for the keeper was a little shallow. The 'ear' on the mag release also needed to be shortened a bit. But, this was using all WC stainless parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) I tryed several. over several years . What I use now is a standard mag button and I shift my grip for the reload. I did not like having a mag fall durring a big match when It was not suposed to. Edited March 4, 2008 by AlamoShooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
