The Tyrant CNC TDHCATEGOLD transforms the Springfield Hellcat Pro's magazine release operation with precision-machined aluminum construction and enhanced ergonomics. This aftermarket upgrade addresses the common complaint of difficult magazine drops during high-stress situations or rapid reloads. The gold anodized finish provides both corrosion resistance and distinctive aesthetics that complement custom builds.
What Makes This Different
Unlike the factory polymer release, this CNC-machined aluminum component features an extended paddle design that increases surface area by 40% for more positive engagement. The textured contact surface prevents finger slippage during wet conditions or when wearing gloves. Tyrant CNC machines each unit from 6061-T6 aluminum billet, ensuring consistent dimensions and eliminating the flex common in stock releases.
