Key Features of the OEM Version
While there are dozens of aluminum "lever" or "paddle" releases on the market, the Ruger OEM version is popular for a few specific reasons:
- Material Match: It is made from the same heat-stabilized, glass-filled polymer as the standard trigger housing. This ensures it won't scratch your receiver and matches the factory "look" perfectly.
- Contoured Design: It follows the curve of the trigger guard and is designed for a "push-forward" motion with a single finger.
- Reliability: Because it's lightweight polymer, it doesn't add enough mass to the internal spring to cause "magazine sag," which can sometimes happen with heavy, oversized metal releases, leading to feeding issues.
Compatibility
- Fits: All Ruger 10/22 rifles (Carbine, Takedown, Compact, etc.) and the .22 Charger pistol.
- Note: It is a direct drop-in replacement for the older "flush" button style. If you have an older 10/22 with the flat button, this part will make your life significantly easier at the range.
