11.7.1 INSTALLING THE MAGAZINE RELEASE
1. If the magazine catch spring has been removed from the frame, use
your index finger to slide the spring into the slot starting at the top
front of the magazine well. The hooked ends of the magazine catch
spring should face the interior of the magazine well. Use your finger to
start one side of the magazine catch spring into the slot and compress
the spring with your finger to start the other side of the spring into
the slot.
2. Slide the magazine release into the grip with the beveled surface
below the locking surface facing down and the slot in the magazine
release aligned with the magazine release spring slot.
3. Press the magazine catch spring down and through the magazine
release until the hooked end is even with the top surface of the
magazine release.
4. Actuate the magazine release to ensure it operates freely and the
magazine is released when it is pressed.
