Most Helpful Positive Review Chicks dig it
Pricey little guy but finally decided to replace the Geissele bolt catch with Radian. Typical for Radian, this is perfect. Where the Geissle's lower pad covered up the hammer pin, the Radian does not, so now you do not need to remove the bolt catch to change out a trigger. This was a nuisance with ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Waste of money
I bought all radian products for a recent build. All parts sucked.. Top priced, cheap mil-spec fit. This part did not fit cleanly. I replaced it with a much cheaper priced strike industries which worked flawless. The TOP dollar ambi-selector was missing parts, (optic planet would do nothing about it...

Broken after first use.

by Ryan, Verified Owner from NV, United States Written on September 26, 2025
Top part of the bolt catch broke clean off after about 20 minutes of shooting. The part stayed attached inside and kept the rifle working but the large part with the radian logo broke clean off. Reinstalled mill spec bolt catch, and continued to shoot for 200+ rounds no problem. Big disappointment especially considering that opticsplanet will not accept returns on items that break within days of being delivered.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • price $$$ to high
  • weak point at the smallest area
  • broken after first use
Best Used for:
  • nothing - do not buy
Would recommend: No

Refitting all my ARs with these.

by LB, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on September 2, 2025
This is an excellent product. The surface area on these catches is neither too big or too small. No more fumbling around finding the catch. Even with gloves on.

Good quality

by Edward Jims Almost, Verified Owner from KY, United States Written on April 11, 2025
Like a lot of things radian makes, this is a great as well. Just the right size, super easy to find and press or just smack it to release. Hold open is just right too, not too big that it can be accidentally tripped but still easy to find and use. Still much better that milspec and also doesn't get in the way of the hammer pin. Also doesn't get in the way if you use a mag linked double pmag, can still actuate it fine. Easy to install as long as you have the right roll punch and a starter. Comes with a spirol (coil) pin. For the price I wish they had thrown a spring in with the pin
Pros:
  • well machined
  • Size is just right
  • Easy to actuate the release and catch
Cons:
  • cost
  • Only comes with a spirol pin
Would recommend: Yes

Works Well

by Soundshooter, Verified Owner from MA, United States Written on February 12, 2025
I had a stock release which was difficult to hit with gloves or under pressure. This installed easily. If haven't changed this part out before, watch out for the spring. This product was about twice as big as the OEM. Happy with the product and I would recommend.
Pros:
  • Big ambidextrous handle blades
Cons:
  • None so far.
Would recommend: Yes
