I’m not entirely convinced that the mag release is entirely at fault here. I’ve got over a thousand rounds through my pistol (1250) and I’ve never had this issue.
I also practice magazine changes fairly regularly…
I figure I’ve inserted and removed a magazine from the weapon several hundred times without issue.
Some get these problems with their first magazines.
Anyway, I’m working on a theory of how/why this might happen
If you have had this failure, please post the following:
First three characters in your serial (MPA, MPB…)
Caliber
# of rounds fired through the weapon
TYPE OF AMMO in the magazine while the weapon was failing (brand/weight)
Pictures of the magazine catch on failing weapons would be a huge plus.
Please and thanks :wink:
I've also talked to a couple of people regarding making an all steel mag catch. I've never had this problem myself so I cant determine if this is actually caused by a faulty mag catch or something else. I'd hate to invest in anything less than a good solution.
