Extended Mag Release for Bodyguard 380 and M&P 380 Pistols

Options:

Bodyguard Extended Mag Release

Tired of your polymer mag release wearing out and having to send the WHOLE pistol in to S&W for repair? Wish that the release was just slightly longer too? Well wish no longer and upgrade your Bodyguard with our new Extended Magazine Release for the Bodyguard 380 pistol series. We have also increased the internal shelf size in order to securely retain the magazine. The increased shelf size does require the magazine button to be depressed to easily insert a magazine. We feel this is a fair trade off for proper magazine retention. Made from 7075 aircraft grade aluminum and anodized in black or red for a long lasting finish, this mag release is everything that customers have been asking for. Get yours today and ditch the plastic!

*** If you have the new factory steel mag release in your pistol it will be the same length as our new aluminum mag release, but ours will be smooth instead of serrated. ***

Fits Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380 and M&P 380 Pistols

*** A 20% restocking fee will be applied on returned Extended Magazine Releases that have been installed. Non-installed parts will receive a full refund (minus shipping). ***

Bodyguard 380 Extended Mag Release Installation

We go over the installation of our newest addition to the parts line for the Bodyguard 380, our Extended Mag Release. Not only is it easier to manipulate, it's also made of aircraft grade aluminum so you don't have to worry about your mag coming loose like it does with the plastic stock one.

Hello, will you consider bringing these back? I have an M&P 380 bodyguard and Smith and Wesson says they don't have a metal option for the mag release. this seems to be the only online metal magazine release.

Sorry no, I discontinued them due to changes in the frame molding and the new units all coming with steel releases now.

Will this magazine release work with the Shield .380 EZ?

No just the body guard 380 pistols it listed.

Will this solve the problem of unwanted mag release in a concealed carry/holster situation? This gun is notorious for that! If not please consider designing such a fix. This is a perfect concealed carry gun but many times I've opted to carry my full size 9mm because I'm scared the mag release may get push in on a draw.

It is meant to retain the mag with more contact angle under fire when the pistol has been known to release the mag due to recoil forces.

Why can't you make this out of steel? even though it is much stronger than the plastic part it will still wear out prematurely. Other very small 380 pistols have steel mag releases why can't anyone make a steel release for this pistol, I would happily pay double for a steel mag release.

Cost and demand for the product. It isn't a big seller and making it out of steel would increase cost on a low demand item. It doesn't really benefit from steel over the 7075 used for the application anyways.
