Changing out mag release?

[Tattoo]

Hey all,

I bought a new extended mag release and wondered if anyone knew how to change out the old one?

Remove the slide.

Take a small flat screw driver looking down into the magwell from the top.

You will see the mag release and the spring coming up from the bottom. Slip the screw driver under the spring push it to the right side of the gun. There is a slot in the bottom of the mag release when the spring gets there it should pop right out. Then slide the old release out.

To install the new one you will have to hold the spring up out of the way so the new release will go under it. When you get it in place take the screw driver and push the spring back over to the slot when it get there it will pop right into place.

Clear as mud right.

It really very easy, you will see when you try it.

Maybe someone else can clear it up for you.

+1. Hard to describe but easy to do. I don't consider myself much of a tinkerer, but it took all of a minute to do this swap.
