I installed an Ed Brown extended mag release into a TRP Operator today.  I did a function check and fired it using Wilson ETM mags and there was no issue.  When I tried a few Nighthawk magazines they only inserted halfway and stopped.  I'm not sure what they are getting stuck on, but does the mag release need to be taken down a bit, or is it the magazine?

try more force. The catch has to be pushed out of the way for the magazine to be inserted all the way.

You may have to remove a little bit of material, remove to much and your magazine catch will not catch. You could also adjust the "feed" ramp on the magazine release.

It wasn't a "soft" stop when it was put in.  It was a dead stop and was hitting something hard.

Take the grips off  and the slide, insert and see where it is hitting.
