Tib 8 Magazine Release....

Walking_Target · 02-12-2008, 01:01 PM

How do you release the magazine from your tib 8, my gorilla hands make it pretty easy, but it still requires flipping it slightly to the side to hit the release.

anyone else have tricks or thoughts?

Doesn't really matter, since I only use 8 balls per game and eliminate up to 20 players on the opposing team, therefore I never need to reload!

Go go gadget monkey thumbs! Just have to twist the marker inwards a bit and I can pop it out with my shooting thumb. I am right handed, however. If I was shooting left handed, I'd probably have to switch hands to reload.

I use to just let them drop to the ground depending on where I was, they're built pretty well. Most turf/woodsground should be fine. It doesnt scratch them as much you constantly slide them in and out of the gun. So if you are worried about wear, use them enough and it'll show.

I tend to roll the grip just a hair and swap the mags, just like on my G21.

Careful how you let them drop. I accidentally dropped one on a hard surface, and it bent the aluminum above the ball detent. It wouldn't allow the detent to spring back into place, so I couldn't get a shot off with that clip. Careful bending back with a screwdriver saved that clip, so now I'm extra careful when I eject a clip. At $50 per clip, I started to be a lot more careful in the future.

Although I`m a south paw I don`t seem to have a problem.The oposite is true for me.I use my trigger finger.I just curl it back and hit the release.I can do this and keep the pistol on target.

I use my shooting hand, but baby my mags by ejecting them into a shirt pocket, this works well in tight bunkers too!
Here's a slowed down version:

Ditto for me. I find that being a leftie actually simplifies the mag eject process!
