J. Frank Norfleet Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Looking for a specific mag release and maybe someone knows who made it. The standard Colt mag release is .855 inch. Most extended mag releases add 1/16th of an inch and come out more or less .925 inch. I can find these all over (I use Brownells). I came across a mag release on a used customized pistol that measures 1.055 inch. It is extended and not oversize so it is still legal for WBAS. Looking for one for a friend and my search has turned up zero. So does anyone know who makes these? JFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Before you go too far down that road I would suggest waiting. The rule about extended releases on modern pistols was INTENDED to cover commonly avalable releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Frank Norfleet Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 HJ Do what you may, I still want to know who made it. JFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bodie Tom Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I have a couple as well in my parts stash. They showed up in the late 70's. Do not see anything like those around these days. I make em if someone just "has" to have one...... Stick out too far to me, especially in the holsters that seem to be about these days. A good plastic surgeon pretty sure could "extend" your thumbs......... Whoops, might get another 'rule" from that statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I was just reminded by one of my most trusted advisors/consultants that we discussed this years ago. Decided then not to address it so we won't now. Have at it if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatneck Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 JFN I have not seen any either for many years. WBT might part with one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Frank Norfleet Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Due to a permanent hand injury we are tying several different options. Personally I can't tell the difference between the extended and the extra extended. Keep digging WBT. JFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
