The best up grade u can do to a shotgun makes everything so much easier
C
Definitely an awesome product. Takes a lot less force to close the bolt, and it just looks amazing!
N
This was a simple and straightforward swap. Pull the original out and push the Briley Operating Handle on.

Great product and fast delivery!

I installed this bolt release lever on my Stoeger 3500 in about 20 minutes. Not because the lever itself is hard to install but the little clip that holds the pin in place is difficult to maneuver.
Watch the how-to-video on YouTube. Once the lever was installed, what a difference it made. So much easier to release the bolt with and without gloves on than the factory button. The Briley Release button is also the best because it comes pre-drilled and tapped. I should have installed this part years ago.

I added the oversized slide release to my Beretta A300 Outlander. The instillation requires disassembly of the shotgun, so be prepared for that. It functions perfectly and is much easier to use than the stock button.
B
Installed this on a Beretta A300, it makes the bolt release much easier and faster to use. Easy install, took 10 min max after breaking down the gun.
One downfall is when carrying the gun at the range with the bolt open, required at my range, it's easy to press the bolt release by accident.

I had ordered a Briley EZ bolt release for my Stoeger M3500 from Gun Goddess and it would not extract the shells out of the magazine tube. I contacted Gun Goddess and they sent me a new one free of charge. The original extractor sent was slightly off from the factory piece. After installing the new extractor the gun has performed flawlessly. I highly reccomend Gun Goddess, some of the best customer service I have experienced.

A much needed improvement, especially, when using thicker gloves!

This was a great addition/upgrade to my Beretta A350. Easy install. Should’ve added it sooner.
B
Gun Goddess was a great pleasure to order from. Everything came well packaged. As for the release, The 15 mins its takes to install I question why I took so long for me to order one. Makes life so much easier when you're calling in birds and trying to reload with gloves on. You hunt on some pretty cold days in Canada, thick mitts are a must sometimes.And this makes it way less of a struggle. Like the title says. Worth every penny!!!

Stoeger M3000 (2018)
First, let me mention the superior customer I received when dealing with Gun Goddess (GG). I had a problem with the part and had to remove it in order to make the gun functional again but also had to destroy the part in the process. I contacted GG not to get a refund but to let them know I didn't think part was milled to spec and ensure others didn't have the same problem. GG refunded me the full amount with no questions asked. I was so impressed with the service that I decided to re-order the part.
The second part came in three days. I installed it and headed straight to the range. HOT DAMN this release worked perfectly and runs smooth as hotter butter across a hot frying pan. It works so well I am still getting used to it because almost any light touch will release the bolt. Perfect for a competition gun or any gun for that matter. The color matches the extended handle perfectly and both look absolutely great the gun. This was my first experience with GG and Briley but both are now at the top of my go to list. Thank you GG for your excellence in service.

Great product. My 11 year old could not use the Beretta 300 factory release button without two thumbs. He can now concentrate on clays and not the release. Easy to install with basic tools and experience.

I’m absolutely in love with all of my products I’ve bought from GunGoddess. This bolt release lever was for my Benelli M2. The perfect amount of color to spice things up just a bit. It was very easy to install. The only thing I had to do was look up a YouTube video. I would suggest for future customers, that you use a barcode or a link to a how to video on the packing receipt. The reason I say this, I’m not a very savvy person when it comes to the small parts on my firearms. It was hard for me to find a video to learn how to do some of the changes for the products I bought. It would be nice to have had instructions so that I knew I was doing it correctly. That’s it! I have loved everything I’ve bought, and the customer service is absolutely top notch. Really respectful people and very considerate and helpful! I’ll contin to buy my products when I can from them!

The Gun Goddess parts are not only great looking but the best quality. This collection is high use for 3gun competition and stands up to the challenge as well as looking great. The performance is top quality.

Well made and VERY necessary addition for your Beretta. EZ install BUT you can install it backwards. Me, I' add a pic of the right way to orient the latch. It does look good and functions. An 11 out of 10.

Finally got the release lever long after already purchasing another one from someone that could get the item to me in a reasonable amount of time. Have not even opened the box. It’s sitting in the corner waiting for me to decide what to do with it. Won’t use this company again

HI ALL I have been with GunGoddess for a longtime have received parts for my AL391 Beretta and they fit great and look Magic and work well ,,ALL the ladies are great help all the way if you need any thing just ask THANK ALL I will come back

Bought this for a Beretta A300 with a small factory button that my son uses for trap. Will not work if you have a Birchwood Casey stick on shell catcher installed. The threaded shaft that protrudes through the receiver isn’t tall enough for the new button to clear the edge of the shell catcher that retains the wire when it’s in the down position. If it was about 3 mm taller, it’d work. That portion of the shell catcher base will need to be cut off for it to work. It would work great if you don’t have a shell catcher installed. I bought this with the larger bolt handle, and there are caveats with that as well.

Easy to install. Makes shooting so much easier. Love it!
