| Free men do not ask permission to bear arms  |
Is there a trick to this? I watched the utube video but I can't exert enough pressure to release the spring rod. It is a Gen4, G19. Thanks. A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone. The American Revolution was carried out by a group of gun toting religious zealots. | ||

Need a dentist hook or the special tool. If you use a screwdriver you can sort of pry it out but you bugger up the inside of the gun pretty good. | |||

utube uses a screwdriver. Spring rod looks weak in video A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone. The American Revolution was carried out by a group of gun toting religious zealots. | |||

You just have to push the spring far enough so that it reaches the notch in the mag catch. I usually just use a thin screwdriver, although I have a screwdriver with a small notch ground into the tip that works well too. __________________ "Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician." -Jeff Cooper | |||

Stuck with it and got it! Now I need Gen 4 or 5 mags for it to work left handed! A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone. The American Revolution was carried out by a group of gun toting religious zealots. | |||

My recommendation has always been for you wrong-handed folks to leave the mag catch on the left side of the pistol unless all your other pistols have been reversed. It’s pretty easy to operate the catch with your trigger finger.

Yeah! It’s only us right-handed (and right-thinking) folks who must always switch the magazine catch to the right side to operate it properly with our index finger.  “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.
