Arredondo vs GG&G shell carrier release

[jimbo45]

Like the title says I'd like an opinion on which one people prefer preferably from people who have handled one or both. Thanks very much

The Arredondo is plastic and mounts to existing release button. This means that it requires drilling and tapping of the factory button.  I was not comfortable attempting that.  The GG&G comes with a replacement shell catch that is pre tapped. Also, the GG&G is a metal button and can be under cut to them be used for clearing shells out of the tube (unloading). Using a Dremel tool, I ground out an arched lip on the underside of the front of the button.  By slipping your fingertip under this lip, you can lift the shell catch away from the shells in the tube.
