Magazine release
« on: July 25, 2005, 03:21:59 PM »
Hi All,

When you insert the magazine into the frame, do you use thumb to push the magazine release aside, or do you use the magazine to force the release aside?

Dumb question, I know, but my first experience with a European style release.

Yep. Me too.  I start it in at an angle, then rotate it back, letting the mag body push the release over.   Then push it home until there is a positive click.

Yep - me too.  I posted way back this sequence I took of my approach to mag out/mag back in.  Just my way.  Not sure if it helps but it works for me.

Sorry about lighting but had to fiddle with remote in teeth to get these - and flash was not doing too well!

Release catch to start withdrawal


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Continue withdrawal, holding release still


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Complete withdrawal


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Begin insertion - mag' cocked back at top and forward at base  to push catch rearward


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once insertion started, move mag to rear to begin remainder of insertion


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use heel of week hand to shove mag up


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Complete insertion.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have learned many things from you, Chris, but this one is unmatched. I have to give it a try next time.

Cheers!
