Easy to install
Only slightly larger than stock mag release Easy to install while many you tube videos say remove the spring to install this is not necessary

Better than factory design
IMO much better than factory release. Has just enough to manipulate w/o being intrusive. Should last forever, well made, easy to install (do NOT remove spring). Being picky on the SS part, I usually polish newly installed parts that do not have lubricant finishes. So of course I did so w/this, it polished up just ok, the part appears to cast, so I couldnt get a mirror like finish (not that it needed it, just a personal preference). Glad I purchased it & would recommend to anyone.

great product for the price
Read reviews about difficult install.Easiest install you could ask for. Don't remove the spring!!! Take off the grips and remove the pin that holds the latch only. put the new latch in replace and pin. Thats it- 10 minutes tops and it works.

works on mark 1
so i give it 4 stars ONLY because it has no instructions. Now check it out ALL mark 1 users this product works great make sure you study the spring orientation before removing stock release, AND unless you have a gun vise, take down your weapon to install this release. I spent an hour trying to balance the gun and install new release lever, but when i took off the barrel and tried, it took less than a minute.

Good piece
First off this was a pain to install. If anyof you have removed the mag release you know how bad it is. But other than that it is a good option, I was thinking the tang would be bigger but I guess it's big enough it won't get stuck on anything but big enough to work well. It is a little skinny for the frame as it has a little lateral movement but nothing to worry about. Overall good product and worth the money.
