Q: Why do some of my factory 10 round magazines fall out when I shoot, none of the 5 rounders do?
A: In some of the factory 10 rd magazines the square hole that the magazine catch engages is placed too low in the steel body. To remedy this, the hole must be filed slightly to allow the catch to engage properly. File the hole towards the top of the magazine. Remove just a little material then test for fit. Continue this until the magazine clicks in solidly.
This can also be attributed to there being some plastic flashing left over from the molding process. Check around the magazine to ensure there is no plastic sticking up preventing the full insertion of the magazine. If there is, remove the material causing the obstruction with a knife.
Lastly the magazine release spring has caused a few problems as well. If the spring is too weak from the factory, the recoil of the gun will cause the magazine to work out from the catch over several rounds causing it to drop. If you have this issue give us a call and we will help you out. |
