I have two. Three, actually, but only two installed. Pro is that it works exactly as intended, most of the time. Which is great for locking the gun back to show clear, or to clear the sorts of stoppages in which you have to drop a mag. In fact, I had two goofy stoppages with my PCC last night and kinda wished I had one.
Cons: on one of them, it sometimes snags and does not snap back when I release the button. This has not occurred while inserting a mag, just something that has occurred while using it administratively. Said lower also has a very tight magwell and doesn’t drop PMags. So there may be some kinda tolerance stacking or something. I’ve thought about hitting the applicable edges with some sandpaper. Also the mag release button spring may be a little on the light end, maybe I’ll try swapping it one day.
On the other, the S-shaped spring pops out from behind the bolt catch occasionally. I’m sure I can fix that easily, but haven’t tried yet. Again, maybe a tolerance stacking thing.
Neither of these inspire a great deal of confidence, but perhaps they will be easily remedied. I want them to work well. The Radian lower with this feature already built in works well.
