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.

Pricey, but nice.
Works well. Better than the other ambi options IMHO

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

Great Ambi Release for Competition
Perfect position for left trigger finger to mirror control on the other side. You can accidently activate it but less apt to than others (and I have tried them all).

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!

Preferred Ambi Mag Release
Have tried the KAC, Remington, and Troy ambi mag releases, and this one is my favorite. Note: the KAC will not work without modification if you have the KNS anti-walk pins installed. The Remington version does not feel as good - the release does not depress as far, and my finger is angled upward versus straight across with the Troy. The Troy has the best feel, and feels similar to the standard mag release.

Just what a lefty needs!
