Mag Release Button/Paddles

[al503]

My thumb seems to change it's length on occasion and I'll botch a reload because I can't get enough of it on the button.

I'm currently using the EGW paddle:

Bob is building my next gun with the STI paddle, which is a smidge longer than the EGW.

Hopefully that'll be enough but I'm just wondering if anyone out there knows of another paddle type button that might be a little longer? I saw a noticeably longer paddle on a JPL gun at last year's Area1 but he didn't know who the manufacturer was.

I would just call JPL. The paddles are easy enough to make. He might have made it himself. Or you could see if Bob is interested in making one for you.

I've seen one that was longer, but can't recall who made it....think I may have seen it in a catalog....I'll check. R,

I kept hitting the paddle at the most inopportune times and dumping a mag. I am in the process of making a regular mag release more user friendly with some aggressive checkering on the surface. This way I don't need the whole thumb on the button.

I've used to have that issue when I first started using these and then I went to a stronger mag release spring. The mag drops only when I want it to.

Some of us can still dump mags, even with a really stiff mag release spring I've had to come with a more... uh... creative way to keep that button from being pressed
