flimsy spring
Spring is flimsy in comparison to OG spring, it easily bent out of shape on insert and would get lodged between the trigger shoe and it's own body, making it tough to install. I had to bend the spring out from this position in order to seat it after 5 attempts
Not so high-speed
I got this and installed on my Glock 22, because I liked the larger surface area. The bullet forward design looked like a good way to avoid having my thumb ride the slide release when shooting. In practice, it's too far forward, and didn't save me any time. In fact, I kept missing it after reloads and ended up putting the old slide release back on the gun. I would go with the Bullet Slide Release in normal e.g. Not Forward, configuration.
