i have 2...92 FS's.
and the other day, when i was practicing with my black one, the one thing that was a PITA, was the mag release button.
it is too short.
so i did some searching and to me, the best extended mag release button, was the all steel one from Beretta.....
drop in, no fitting.
i checked other company brands, like Wilson, but i had read a few complaints about thiers being slightly over sized, and needed to be fitted, one guy gave up, and bought one from Beretta.
only tools needed are...
bit (or screwdriver) driver to remove BOTH grips
maybe some lube oil...(to put a drop into the spring/bushing of the new release button)
wooden dowel.....(i used a wooden clothes pin)
from start to finish, maybe less than 5 minutes.....really....
the black Beretta, OEM mag release, "exploded" as i popped it out,........ spring, and 2 bushings went flying.....but i found everything.
i just cannot put it back together.....(tiny pieces, old eyes)
before pics of the OEM mag release button
Beretta's extended mag release button
the one mag release button, that did not explode, all plastic by the way....i put a drop of lube inside at the outer ends, where those bushings slide.
this is the outside, showing the 2 sliding bushings, and tiny, but strong spring.
