Lets You Drop The Mag Just As Easily With Either Hand
Knight's ambidextrous mag release offers a large, easy-to-find off-side release lever that helps you drop the mag reliably and consistently from an unorthodox hand position. The long, wide off-side lever has clean, deep serrations on the control pad, plus the correct angle to provide the right leverage to easily drop the mag - but only when you want to. Easy, drop-in installation on any standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver, and requires zero permanent modifications to your rifle. Any time you need to switch back to the original factory button, the KAC unit can be swapped out almost instantly.

overall good(10/07/2016)
product seems fine but wanted to post some compatibility issues. If you have a Seekins Precision lower with their ambi-bold catch, the included magazine release button won't work. Should be fine with a normal magazine release button though and that's my plan. Also, can't use it at all with a Magpul BAD lever
Gets the job done(28/08/2016)
extremely easy to use. easy to reach even with short fingers and requires very little finger strength to actuate. Will interfere with a bad lever but as a left handed shooter that is a non issue for me.
Works with one glitch (03/12/2016)
I bought this because I shoot left handed. I already have a ambi safety so this was all I was lacking to make it left handed friendly.
I found out right away that it is not compatible with KNS anti rotation trigger pins. The new left side mag release button hits the anti rotation pin retainer. I wanted the mag release more than the trigger pins. And to be honest, I only installed the trigger pins because of the hype for them online. I never had any issues with the original ones. So I simply reinstalled the original trigger pins.
Install was pretty easy. I don't really care a lot for the looks of the round button on the right side of the gun, but it was way easier to install than the original mag release.
The new left side button is easy to reach and operate, although it is just a tad stiffer to operate then if your shooting right handed, but nothing that is a deal breaker. All in all I am pretty happy with.
Just what I was looking for. (04/03/2017)
Being a lefty, was really looking to replace the mag release on my AR. Found a few parts but most looked odd or didn't receive good reviews. Seeing as quite a few people have reviewed this item online as well as YouTube, figured this would be the way to go.
Very happy with the purchase of this as the installation was super easy and works great. Switching out mags is far easier and quicker now with this installed. I use a mag couplers (Magpul) on some of my mags and was a bit worried about them not working properly with the mag release installed. Happy to report that they work perfectly with this installed.
I've read some reviews where this mag release doesn't work on some lowers, definitely doesn't work the Magpul B.A.D lever as well as a couple other oddities. The only "issue" I have to report here is the cold weather button could have a little better fit to it. Since the groove for the original mag release button is square, the new button is circular so it doesn't quite fit flush against the lower. Mag release still works but just thought this could be updated in future versions.
Great, but won't fit with anti-walk pins(19/09/2017)
The KAC ambi mag lever looks very well designed. Unfortunately, it will NOT fit an AR with the KNS anti-walk pins installed. Not sure how the JP Industries pins will fit. The pin cutout on the lever could be opened marginally more to ensure fit.
