For those of you who follow my feeds on Facebook and google+, you know there is a big event called the Alabama Sectionals that I will be participating in. For the past year of shooting within the USPSA, there have been a few lessons I have learned from the rules of the sport, as well as learning about myself. One important factor was learning my weapon system, and incorporating enhancement features to minimize my times. So far, changing out my trigger and stippling my gun helped out tremendously, but now I’m putting the extended magazine release to the test to see if this will help or not.
The M&P Catalyst MOD 1 is a tool of enrichment that left me with a smile on my face. The catalyst is defined as something that initiates a process or causes change with lesser amounts of energy or effort. By far this is a true statement. With the 21st Century Gunfighter M&P Catalyst MOD 1, I’m in a position of having that much more of an edge to keep my times as low as possible, but as always, time will tell. Follow me on social media to find out what will take place at the 2015 Alabama Sectionals.

From my years in the military, there has always been measures of watching different leaders and Soldiers who bring all the new gadgetry in attempts to mark a new SOP in the company. Sometimes it worked, and other times it didn't, but good ol’ common sense never fails when dealing with Murphy’s Law. I like to keep things simple and in order to get my shot times down that is what is needed. The K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Soldier) concept. Soldier is to take the place of another word, but I will keep it simple...lol. Having larger hands gives me the ability to easily reach the stock magazine release. So why add the extended magazine release you ask? From my time in the military, there were a few times when my hand was broken. While shooting in competitions, my attention was given to how I almost roll the gun to make pressing the magazine release a bit easier. Normally when this takes place, my actions incorporate both hands. Then again it's all about being safe.
This extended magazine release from 21st Century Gunfighter only took about five minutes to change out from the stock. From the moment this new magazine release was intact, this enhancement made manipulating the magazine release easier without any assistance from my non firing hand. That extra protrusion that comes already stippled made that much of a difference. After running a few drills to see how this new protrusion will work, I was happy with my original thought that this simple improvement adds a great deal of value for those who are in competition or just in the sport of shooting.
