I've tried a few different Ambi mag catch/release kits before and this is by far the best one I've come across. It's pretty low profile so no worries about it getting snagged on something. Install is exactly the same as any other mag catch. Beat of all it works great. I can drop the mag from the left side easily. The price is not bad either. I highly recommend it.
Would recommend: Yes

Good magazine catch, ambi and works well!
the only thing is I replaced the mag button with the magpul extended button and works well with this! (just the button replacement). Nonetheless this looks good and functions well when release mags on either side
Would recommend: Yes

This ambi is simple and effective. If you are a dedicated lefty then there are better options. It does work with a B.A.D. lever with very little clearance and can be somewhat difficult to get around the BAD lever if you have short fingers.
Would recommend: Yes

Works very well for what it’s intended purpose is for. Solid lock up. Won’t release mag unless pressed

There is no better idea for making sure you can drop that magazine. This gives you options. Getting one for all my AR's.

Nice upgrade. Especially for left hand people. It doesn't stick out to far. And it will function correctly with extended bolt catches like the Giessele Maritime bolt catch.
Cons:
- Have to apply more pressure than the original mag release
Would recommend: Yes

I have been using one of these for over a year on my Areo Precision M5 and it works great. I do a lot of ambi shooting so it has seen some use. It is an easy installation and I haven't had any issues.
