Considerations & Trade-offs
- Single-side, uni-directional design means you need to choose the right-hand version to match your shooting hand; it is not ambidextrous.
- As a direct replacement for the factory magazine release, it is intended for FN 509 model pistols only and is not a universal fit.
- The extended button and angled, serrated face are meant to make magazine release easier, but that also changes the feel and profile of the factory control.
- Black oxide finish is specified, so this part is not presented as a bare or stainless-finish option.
