John92awd Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 On a TS orange. The magazine release is stiffer than my other 75 models. Is there anything that can be done to make it easier to press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP- really isn't much to the mag release. You could disassemble the pistol and see if there's anything binding. Alternatively do a few thumb presses ;0 Edited October 21, 2018 by muncie21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneBray Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Remove spring. Use pliers to gently compress spring to narrow the gap between legs. Reinstall and test. Repeat as necessary to get the release you want. The spring may require bending the upper 1/3 to 1/2 out slight and the lower in. This will help prevent the mags release from getting loose.

manolis Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 1. Unscrew a little the holding screw.Maybe is overtired and doesn't leave the spring to work. 2. Check the mag release for burrs. 3. Remove spring. Put the screw in the semicircle that is in top of the spring and use pliers to gently compress spring to narrow the gap between the top of legs. Repeat as necessary to get the release you want. Be careful don't over do it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John92awd Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Okay. I was thinking that something like this would be possible but wanted to see is anyone here had experience. I'm going to disassemble and do this a bit at a time. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always noticed that the mag release is stiffer than another gun I have ever had, but just dealt with it. Really didn't know something could be done about it.

John92awd Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 To update. I squished it a bit similar to the way manolis showed. I started on the legs of the spring. It took a few tries but it is now similar effort required to the way my shadow 2 came factory. Success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
