How does one remove the mag catch on a KSC Glock?

[Crunchmeister]

I don't have any issues at the moment with my KSC Glock, but I know from experience that the plastic mag catches eventually wear out and won't hold the mag in properly when shooting. I've already experienced this on my KJW M9 (I reversed the catch to left-hand config for now), and I'd like to simply avoid the problem from developing on my Glock by pre-emptively replacing the catch with a steel one.

I've played around with several of my GBBs and have had no problem removing and reinstalling the mag catches, due to the nature of their construction. But the Glock mag catch baffles me. I haven't been able to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

It's quite easily, I just change mine to Guarder as well.

Just remove the slide, look through it then you will see your mag catch hold tension by a piece of steel needle, just use your screwdriver to push that needle up then your mag catch will come out out by itself.


If you buy a new mag catch, you might need to sand down that steel needle a little it since the steel mag catch doesn't have deep hole like the plastic one.

Thanks for the advice. I suspected it had something to do with that part, but was afraid of breaking it and figured I should ask before trying.
