Description

The Beretta 92 and 96 series come stock with a magazine release that works fine, but it can feel cramped if you've got an aftermarket grip or just want faster, more reliable mag drops. Wilson Combat's extended release solves that problem without overdoing it. This isn't a massive tactical paddle—it's a genuine size upgrade that makes a real difference in how quickly you can reload.

Built from 4140 heat-treated steel and CNC machined for precision, this release features extended checkered pad gives you something substantial to grab without compromising carry or fit inside a decent holster. The checkering delivers non-slip traction even with wet hands or gloved fingers. A black Armor Tuff finish protects against corrosion and wear, which matters when you're actually using your gun instead of just looking at it.

What Makes This Extended Release Different

Unlike plastic factory releases or overly aggressive aftermarket buttons, this one strikes a practical balance. The extended pad reduces how much your thumb has to move for a release, which speeds up reloads at the range or in competition. It's also ambidextrous, so you can install it on the right or left side depending on your setup.

Installation on Beretta 92/96 Platforms

Most shooters report that this part requires little to no fitting. It's designed to work with your existing spring and bushings from the original mag release—you'll reuse those parts. Some variation exists across different Beretta models and manufacturing tolerances, so minor fitting might be needed on older or special editions, but nothing that demands professional help if you're comfortable working on your gun. Just give yourself time and don't force it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my Beretta 92FS without any modification?

Most Beretta 92 and 96 series pistols will accept this part with little to no fitting. The design is compatible with standard frame geometry, but since manufacturing tolerances vary between different Beretta models and years, you may need to do minor edge work. Older 92FS models and newer variations like the 92X can have slight differences, so check that it seats properly before committing to installation.

Do I need the spring and bushings from Wilson Combat, or can I reuse my original parts?

You absolutely reuse your original spring and bushings. This part is just the button itself. You'll remove the factory release and transfer the spring and metal inserts to the new Wilson Combat button. This saves you money and means there's no reason to buy extra components you don't need.

How much bigger is this compared to the factory mag release?

It's noticeably larger but not exaggerated. The extension gives your thumb something more substantial to grab, cutting down the thumb travel distance for faster reloads. Some users describe it as sitting between factory size and full-on competition buttons, making it practical for both range shooting and regular carry setups.

Will this interfere with my holster?

Most well-fitted holsters for the Beretta 92/96 will accommodate this extended button without issue. However, tight-fitting holsters or older leather carry holsters might require a small amount of adjustment or stretching. Test fit before carrying, and if there's contact, a good holster maker can help with minor adjustments.
