P365 Magazine Catch Removal

In another post I’ll state “why” I wanted to remove the Magazine Catch on my P365, I can say this was a BIG pain in the ***** for me. Maybe my hands are too large or I’m just not coordinated.

I’m going to attach a few photos that after removing the catch it all makes sense to me. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and read my manual over at least three times and past the basic “Use a paper clip” they didn’t really show me well what I was try to do.

On the last photo you can see on the magazine catch “stop” (that’s what Sig calls it), there is a tiny piece that you have to push in with the paper clip before you can lift the stop out.

When I was attempting this the stop kept falling below the hole where you insert the paper clip. I think what finally did it for me, I depressed the magazine catch just enough to get the paper clip in then while pushing slightly with the paper clip, I pushed the magazine catch or release and the stop came right out.

These are tiny parts and very easy to lose so keep a close eye on everything.
My P365 was super easy to swap. I had a couple of P320’s that were hard and super frustrating to swap the mag release. The toughest part with the P365 mag release swap was getting it back in. Patience is key.
