Excellent replacement

This is an excellent replacement part for the plastic magazine release. I installed this on a M9A1 pistol with Beretta factory plastic grips. One reviewer said it did not work for him. Mine had plenty of clearance and worked GREAT. Not sure what his issue could have been. I have installed 3 of these, one on this pistol, one on a 92A1, and one on a M9. No issues at all with grips. When installing make sure to note the direction the plunger legs go into the recesses. If installing for right hand operation, place the release into the slot and insert the left side into the hole in the frame. Then push in on the right side. It should pop into place.

OS Mag Release

I just installed this into my Beretta 96FS recently and I love it! Makes mag changes easier and smoother without having to adjust my grip on the gun. I watched a couple of videos on how to install it into the grip. It was a little bit of a pain to install but once I got it in there, it was flawless!

Huge improvement over OEM release.

Took watching a few different videos to understand how to properly fit the part, but that's a knock on my amateur gunsmithing abilities not the part. Fits great and works great. I can activate the release with my middle finger on my shooting hand, and I have small hands. Solid metal construction, good fit, and good function. Highly recommend.

Great for shooters with smaller hands!

Great quality product like almost all Wilson parts. Made of durable metal and not the flimsy plastic factory release. Easy enough to install and fit great. Hardest part of the installation is getting the bushing and springs seated so pay attention to that part of the video. For the price and functionality it cannot be beat. Fit my 92A1 with Alumagrips great. No fitting or modification required. Great feel on the fingers and big enough I can use my shooting hand middle finger to drop the mag. No second hand required! Highly recommended!
