It dropped right in on my 92SF with no fitting required, just a little oil. Nice finish blends right in with the frame.

Works as advertised

I did my research and read all the reviews I could find knowing what I am getting into, especially the reviews found on Wilson Combat's website. This particular extended mag release requires some fitting and it is not a drop-in at least not for my Italian made 92FS. I am not a gunsmith and I rarely work with metals but all it needs is a little bit of filing to make it fit into the original cut out. I suspect the added thickness comes from the finishing material, once that's gone it fits just like the original one. It needs a little troubleshooting skills but in my case definitely not as bad as the others hence I give it 4 stars. The bad: Requires fitting, not a plug-and-play as claimed. WC could have provided a disclaimer on the fitment and instructions. The good: The checkering is very grippy and I hope it stays the same over use Much easier than the stock mag release to drop a mag.
