Default Extended Mag Release

I am looking for an extended mag release for my M&P Pro 9mm and .40 S&W. Is any company making these? Seems like it would be a great seller since they are becoming so popular in competition for USPSA and IDPA!

All the folks who complain about the release sticking out too far and now someone wants an extension? Also, given the location, I don't think there's much call for one.

Given the cost of a factory one, just stick a blob of epoxy on the factory one and shape it to your desires.

In IDPA, you can only extend it slightly, but, I don't know where my rulebook is, so I can't tell you just how much.

For USPSA "Limited" division, it would be fine!

I just checked Speed Shooters Specialties website, and was surprised to NOT find an extended, mag release for an M&P. I would think that if they don't sell one, nobody makes one --yet.

Seems like it would be a quick way to get disqualified in USPSA/Production and IDPA/SSP.
Aftermarket extended mag releases are not allowed in either of these divisions.

You can use extended magazines releases in IDPA/ESP and USPSA/ Limited, if you want to compete against the STIs.
