A fumbled magazine change can mean the difference between a win and a loss in any speed shoot competition. Thats why most competitive shooters prefer Extended Magazine Release with wide checkered button for quick magazine changes with minimal movement. We do not recommend an extended magazine release on carry pistols. For shooters that want to use their carry gun for competition, the large button on extended magazine release can be removed with an allen wrench leaving a stock dimension button that is ideal for carry purposes.
