  • It is a direct replacement for the factory magazine release, but it is still a control-part change that should be installed and checked carefully for proper function.
  • The extended length and angled, serrated face are intended to make magazine release easier, which may also make the control more prominent than the factory part.
  • Compatibility is stated for FN 509 model pistols; it is not presented as a universal magazine release for other platforms.
