<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> The Troy release costs less to manufacture so it sells for less than our release. The paddle also "cams" on the receiver to operate which will eventually wear through the anodizing. The paddle can also snag on gear and is more prone to inadvertent release of a magazine than our design. The Troy release paddle is blocked when you use multi-magazine holders and C-Mag type high cap magazines.
The Troy design is the only way to get around our patent (same with the Knight's release). Both of these designs are actually a copy of a release that ZM weapons tried around the same time we introduced our concept.
Our ambidextrous release is self contained and will not wear a hole in your receiver. The low profile of our release will not snag on gear and is specifically designed to reduce the possibility of inadvertent release. The leverage needed to release the magazine along with force exerted on the catch by a fully loaded magazine protect the assembly from inadvertent actuation (less rounds in the mag, easier to release).
Our release is the best way to add an ambidextrous magazine release capability to M16/M4 weapons which were never designed for it (no fence on the non-port side).
Our release has been safety tested by NSWC Crane, authorized for use in all M16s/M4s in the USMC and is being used by Canada (C7A2/C8), Denmark (M10), Norwegian SF, JTF2 and USMC MARSOC (CQBW). Our release has been used in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq.
