Hello,
I am thinking of ramping up development on my tactical magazine release I started working on 4 years ago. Covid got in the way as did life.
The "Happy Cyclopes" (As my daughter who gave the name to the green version) proved to be popular with the 5-6 testers.

See posts from #8 onward for reviews. Any shortcomings of the design when operating it would be overcome by a slightly stiffer spring. The key was to curve the front of the safety - opened up a whole range of operating methods that increased its usability.
Based on feedback from how a test user - where he operated the safety different than I had envisioned - I started development of a concept to see how fast I could get a magazine into the rifle on a reload.

This in turn was a result of my original experiment in how to use my daughter's S&W M&P magazines instead of Ruger or Magpul mags.

Next phase would be to create a injected plastic prototype (more expensive) or a metal prototype to determine unit costs.
In responding to this post would you want to purchase a 3d printed version, plastic injection version, or metal version.
Thanks for you replies in advance.

P.S - If you were on of my original testers, and you want a black version as I promised, PM me with your name and current address and I'll send one out to you at no charge.
