Do not buy, horrible cast and QC

Awful casting with huge mold lines and offset at least .25mm. Will not fit on a Freedom Wolf frame as I can't get the spring into the notch in the release. I have appropriate tools and have upgraded my other handguns so it might be a fitment issue. Just awful, this is THE WORST product I've bought from Brownells and my first and last purchase of a Ghost product. As the saying goes, "pics or it didn't happen." You're welcome.

Pins mags when pressed.

I bought this release for my glock 22 gen 4, unfortunately it was molded wrong, while it does give a better/extended button, when you depress it fully it will pin the old mag in place, preventing it from dripping. Also it seems as if the molds were offset from each other, there is a lip all the way around the perimeter of the part, resulting in the textured portion beung offset from each other. Being the low expense of the part I don't find it nescessary to return it, but my expeirience makes me leery of ghost as a manufacturer.

Avoid

I ordered two of these and both were oversized. This caused the magazine to stick in the magwell instead of dropping free. Sometimes I had to push the catch back into place to get them to hold the magazine. I returned them both.
