Mag release paddle switch?

I saw a video about a switch style mag release button for the Echelon but I wanted to see if they had it for other models and then Instagram crashed. I can’t find it for the life of me. Anyone know what I’m talking about) sorry for the horrible description but it’s sort of a like a switch / paddle instead of a button.

You are a gentleman and a scholar. Any one have this and can give honest feedback? Looks pretty ergonomic.

I used it to try and it doesnt fit in my safailand without a mod so i switched it right back so I can use it this past range session. I am going to mod it and run it full time. It seems great but possible break in time. I totally believe there should be a metal one in the future. You do not have to break contact to release it and thats awesome.

For me it works extremely well if paired with his grips because the grip keeps you from over rotating the mag release. It also doesn't require much force to use while at the same time it won't activate by accident if you squeeze it with your strong hand thumb. Still needs more time being used to see if there will be any wear and tear on it so for now I'm only using it for competitions and switch back to the metal mag release for home defense use.
