Good ambi option for a budget

Overall this thing is good. Some might complain about the slight gap at the front that isn't really a gap, it's clearance since this thing hinges to release the magazine instead of coming straight out like it typically would on a standard mag release. Where it is located it likely won't cause any issues under typical usage unless your usual usage is storing it under a pile of mud, which even then I doubt would cause problems where it is located, unless your idea of an issue is a spec of dirt getting on your magazine. My only complaint is that it is impossible for me to use on a fully loaded magazine with the bolt closed, if the mag is empty or the bolt is open I have no issue. I probably give it a 4.5 star if possible due to it being a minor inconvenience since my typical use for this is empty reloads since I'm a lefty, for tactical/partial reloads ill do what I always did before this and hit the button with my right thumb as I am changing mags and stick the partial empty in my pocket.
