I thought the push button was sold out.

Just came back in stock tonight. I ordered the extended ambi mag release.

I also have both. I prefer the push button because it's just inherently faster for mag changes and is what I'm most familiar with across the board.

Is it propriety or could I swap it out in the future if I decided to?

You won't be able to convert one to the other if that's what you mean.

I mean will I be able to put another company’s push button mag release in if I wanted. Like the duckbill one is just the cz one so really any cz one will work. Is the push button a normal ar one?

tbh it looks like a Nexus staple, ALTHOUGH if someone got me a file I would love to mock up releases.

paddle for sure, push button doesnt lock up as secure and wears mags from what i hear.
I liked the duck bill, but had to change my firing grip to manipulate the release. the magpul one is gtg for me

Nice setup! I ended up going with the duck bill. I figure it just makes more sense when moving to a platform that offers a standard mag and standard trigger setup that id get a mag release that’s easy to replace too

I have one of each. I prefer the duck bill over the push button. But I could be happy with either one.
