MAGAZINE RELEASE, BERETTA 92/96, EXTENDED, STEEL, CHECKERED

I have 4 of these releases on my INOX 92 and 92 Compact, my 96, and my carry 92 Compact. They were no more difficult to install than the standard releases. The YouTube channel "The Rogue Banshee" has a number of videos that helped me.

Wanted longer release so I didn't have to change my grip during mag changes. Checkering is the right amount of sharp. It is a fight to get installed but fits perfectly once you figure out the proper procedure. YouTube was a big help. No sanding or grinding was needed. A dab of oil and she's smooth.

I should have read reviews from other websites regarding this mag release before buying. Spent a lot of time trying to install. Purchased beretta brand one after much frustration with the WC brand one. Beretta one popped right in. Worst part is I had to pay $16 for return shipment for this $40 part.

Bought this part, didn't think i would have to use a Dremel tool or get a gunsmith to put it in. The description of, "may need fitting" is funny, the part is literally 25% bigger than the slot it's supposed to fit in.

Wouldn't fit my Italian 92.Followed advice in reviews here and on Brownells, filed it for an hour, checking fit every two minutes. When it finally slotted in with brute force, it was too loose after riding back, rattles, just totally useless. Can't get my money back since I filed it down to fit, but figured I'd warn future buyers. If it doesn't fit immediately, return it, don't waste your time and money trying to make it fit unless you're a good gunsmith. I wasn't good enough.

Ths style release works great with all types of grips. The Mag release needed minor fitting as its too tight to fit. Some minor light fine filing and i.t popped in. A marked improvement over the stock release.4 out of 5 stars because of the fitment issue.

I bought this item because I was having to shift my weapon a bit too much during reloads. This magazine release solved that problem. It is big enough that I no longer need to shift my weapon, but small enough to remain unobtrusive. It was a PAIN to install. It did not interfere with my grip panels. The non-button end is a tad sharp when the mag release is pressed - no cuts, just annoying, can probably be solved with a bit of file work. Highly recommended.

Installed on a new Beretta with VZ grips. The part fit very tight in the frame and was harder to install than I anticipated. After installing and putting the grips back on, I noticed the release would not work with the right side cut-out on the VZ grips. Ended up trimming the grips and hitting them with a black marker. Works great now.

My Elite II comes standard with a factory extended mag release button, however the contact surface for your thumb was a bit small uncomfortable, with this WC version it pertrudes just a bit more and the contact surface is much larger than the standard extended Beretta one. This is way more comfortable and looks better with the checkering.
