Description
If you carry or shoot a Springfield Hellcat or Hellcat Pro in Arizona’s demanding conditions, you need a magazine release that works every time. Sand, dust, sweat, and heat can turn a factory part into a frustrating weak point. The Apex Extended Mag Release is a direct drop-in replacement built for high-wear environments. It gives you a larger, tactile surface that’s easier to find and press under stress, with gloves, or when your hands are slick with sweat.
This is a single-side activated release that’s fully reversible for left or right-handed shooters. The serrated face extends 0.065 inches beyond the factory release, giving you just enough extra reach without adding bulk that could snag or print. Made from heat-treated steel, it’s tested to over 10,000 magazine drops with a fully loaded mag — so it holds up to hard use in the desert heat. Choose between a Black Oxide Finish or Hard Chrome finish. Both resist corrosion and wear from abrasive dust and holster friction.
Key specs and benefits for your Hellcat or Hellcat Pro:
- Direct drop-in replacement — no fitting, filing, or gunsmithing. Comes with a spare magazine release spring.
- Reversible design — swap for left or right-hand activation in minutes.
- Extended by 0.065 inches from factory position, with a serrated face for positive grip.
- Steel construction, heat-treated — built to survive repeated drops and high-round-count classes.
- Tested to 10,000+ drops with a fully loaded magazine — no spring fatigue, no failures.
- 100% Made in USA — quality control you can trust.
Important fitment note: After installation, check the release against your holster. Some holsters with tight trigger guard contours may contact the extended release. If interference occurs, a quick adjustment with a heat gun or light sanding on the holster’s interior usually solves it. This is standard for any extended control on a carry gun.
Priced at $55, this is a simple, durable upgrade that makes one of the most critical manipulations on your pistol faster and more reliable — especially in the heat, dust, and sun of an Arizona summer. Fits Springfield Hellcat and Hellcat Pro models.
