Magazine release

Previously used another product but this one is better. Externally release tab is closer to the center of the magazine well and more leverage.

Troy

This is without doubt the best ambi-mag release out there. Also the most expensive. I think you can get one from under $20 up to this Troy, over $50. I got my first one made by Troy maybe 15 years ago for about $25, lots of bucks back then. But it was so good, easy to use, easy to install, and of such obvious quality that every time I built of improved an AR lower, I put one on. Never a glitch. Still, expensive, but you won't be disappointed.

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Perfect southpaw

Perfect design! I use this for work in law enforcement and am a lefty with long guns. The position is perfect for using the left trigger finger as the finger falls naturally on the lever without having to reach up as in some other amb-mag releases. Nor does it interfere with the bolt catch! Not overly large so it isnt cumbersome. American made! I have bought several of these for all my ARs, 9mm, DMR, all of rhem!

Nice part

Fits well and works as advertised.
