I think
every gun made with a mag disconnet, that part can betaken out with no hindrance to the functioning of the gun. I know when DavidOriginally posted by Popeye View PostNot on my Kahr PM9. It has on my P3at though when pocket carrying ,and that is one reason I would never buy a pistol that will not fire if the mag is not fully inserted. If for some unknown reason I ever bought a pistol that had that feature it would not be a carry pistol or that feature would be removed. That is one safety feature that is on some pistols that I will never understand. It takes a gun and makes it useless and nothing more than a cleverly designed rock.
bowie tuned my Smith M & P, he called me and askme if I wanted that mag disconnet out of the gun. I said yes. When it came back frm him the parts were in a plastic bag. Just sayin
It is a hell of a sales feature to the unknown
. My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

Some are easier than others to pull. For example, the disconnect on the P345 is a royal mutha, but the Hi-Power is no problem.Attitude: it takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile...and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
The olive branch is considered a symbol of peace, and good will. Last time I checked, it's still a switch.Comment

No one has posted a resolution to this issue yet. I've been carrying my P380 almost daily for about a year, and a handful of times I've noticed the magazine out of position at the end of the day. This is a pocket pistol, and the only reason I own it is because it's handy for this style of carry. It goes in a DeSantis Super-Fly, without the extra flap, on the left side.Originally posted by RogerP9fan View Post
A possible solution is to add the holster flap. But with that, the holster is adding 2/3 the thickness of the gun. If I wanted a fat gun, I'd not have bought the P380. Another option is filing down the magazine release so it's less likely to get inadvertently bumped. It's not like I'll be doing tactical reloads with this gun, so the smaller button won't be an issue.
I'm gonna ponder on this for a few more minutes, then maybe go down to the garage and start carving on the Kahr.Comment

It is done. The mag release now lets go when it's just a hair proud of the frame. I'm confident this will decrease the potential for an unintentional mag drop when the gun is in my pocket. The release was first ground down until the striations were gone, then I hand finished it on a 400 stone. The corners were a little sharp, so I broke the edges by swirling the part around on the stone, to round it off. Next was some cold blue to put some color back onto the bare steel, and it was finished off with a Birchwood-Casey touch-up pen.
I suspect this issue is not unique to Kahrs, but is sometimes seen on other pistols with a button style mag release when carried in a front pocket on the left side. It's just that, comparatively speaking, there aren't many guns of this style being carried around in a front pocket--by lefties.Comment

The issue is; when carrying on the left side using a soft holster, thin/soft leather or fabric, is that you unknowingly bump into "stuff" that will activate the mag release! The cure is to use a holster that protects the mag release, with kydex being one of the better choices!
I found the cause at one of my jobs where I had to navigate around a bunch of desks, they were just the right height to bump into my pocket carried pistol. The bump was light but hit just the right spot.
I would not recommend shortening the mag release, just my not so humble opinion!"Do as I say not as I do"

Why?Comment

Why what? If you mean why not to shorten the Kahr mag release it be 'cause of the likelihood of rendering it near to or useless!!Originally posted by RustyIron View Post

Ohhh... I forgot that not everyone has talent and skill when working on guns. Sorry, man. But stick around, maybe someday you'll learn something.Comment

Indeed, I make it a point to try to learn something from anyone that I meet or have a conversation with, so please feel free to add to my education! Of course, sometimes all I learn is what not to do!Originally posted by RustyIron View Post"Do as I say not as I do"

Now children, quit fighting.
If you don't carry a spare mag what difference does it make if you need a tool to eject the mag? Many people do not carry a spare mag and just depend on what is in the gun.Comment

no, never had a premature ejection with my CM9 during a match, EDC, IWB,OWB, or pocket carry; PJ's IWB, Rosen OWB, 3C Tactical PC. in fact I've altered the mag release button to project 1/16" OUTWARD from the stock specs. to aid tac. reloads as the CM9 is my EDC/BUG match gun. I compete with what I carry.
