Not Good Enough

After less than 1500 rounds, the GHOST slide release gave up the ghost. I was very happy when I originally installed it; it is much easier to quickly operate than OEM. However, the portion of the component that contacts the magazine follower is just slightly smaller than OEM, and the tolerance between the internal bar and thumb catch seems a tad bit wider. This small difference allowed the slide release to tilt out every time the follower on an empty mag pushed the release into the slide, creating side to side friction and a much smaller point of contact between the slide and release. The inner edge of the release (the only part that was contacting the slide) started to round over from the friction of bad contact, and the slide is even showing some wear as well. After less than one hundred mag changes, my slide now releases from lock with not just a forceful mag change, but even just setting the gun down (slide release side down or up). I had originally though it was my magpul mags, then my aftermarket slide, but switching back to an OEM slide stop fixed all issues. Not recommended, and downright dangerous for a duty or defense weapon.

Worthless

spring retaining portion broke after racking the slide for function check. Don't waste your money, very poor quality.
