I just bought a BarSto extended mag release for my XD 45 that included no installation directions. I found a video on YouTube showing its replacement, but do not know if removing the trigger module is necessary to be able to replace the mag release.

Anyone? Also, if anyone knows of a good web site showing the mag release's replacement I'd appreciate it.

TIA

No you do not need to remove the trigger. You just push the pin about halfway out and the release will push out easily. Don't push it all the way out or you will have a lot of fun trying to get the spring assembly back in. There is probably a video on here somewhere.

I was at first real apprehensive about trying it, but decided to. IT was easy and took all of 3 minutes. dont fear. as stated just dont push the pin to far.

one thing I found was to smooth out any irregularities or edges on the new button where it contacts the release.

I also removed my release to debur it too, instead of letting them wear.
