It is absolutely infuriating that SIG first puts out such a poorly designed part, and second, doesn't include a suitable tool. I can't find anything suitable around the house, so I'll have to make a special trip to the hardware store to, hopefully, find a tool that will work. I sure won't get this done tonight. Again, there is no excuse for such poor engineering. Whoever designed this should be fired.

I did this recently with a P320 M18 CA with a small paper clip and it was very easy. Be sure to do this over a table top or other flat surface in case the tiny sping falls out when you remove the release from the slot.

Thank you for this video. Just got a Wilson Combat grip for my P365 and was glad it came with the new mag release in the kit so I didn't have to remove the one from the old grip. It wasn't the easiest thing I've had to do but after watching a couple of times I was able to get the button pushed in far enough against the spring to get the keeper in place! Thumb will never be the same!! Hey they're 74 year old thumbs... give me a break! LOL

SigGuy, your instructional videos are the best on KZbin. Not only do you explain in detail the how but you also explain in detail the why. I'm the kind of person who can do something so much better if I know the mechanics behind the mechanism. I changed out two of these on my Sig P365, used both methods and both worked flawlessly. Thank you so much for your great videos, they are greatly appreciated!

@MrJedi51504 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the video. The easiest "tool", which is officially recommended in the P320 armorer's course, is a paperclip. Another tip that nobody does on youtube (maybe to make filming easier), is to point the "muzzle" of the grip module to the ceiling. Why fight gravity? A couple swipes with a paperclip with the grip pointed skyward and it's out. Nothing could be simpler, and causes no damage to the catch.

If anyone has trouble using the allen key method to walk out the locking tab, that exacto blade method is super easy. Use your allen to force space between the 2 parts, and your exacto blade should go almost all the way in right off rip! I just bought a P320 AXG, it was very resistant to change until i did what i just deacribed. Wonderful, informative video. Couldn't have removed this part without your video, kind sir. Thank you very much!

@mickeystephenson78224 жыл бұрын
This a well done video that clearly walks you though the change. I am right handed and have very small hands, and had to really stretch to reach the right hand mag release. I changed the mag release to a left hand release and it is perfect. Just roll the gun clockwise (which is what you always do to change mags) and it now lines up perfectly with my right finger. This really decreases the time for a mag change. This should work with extra large hands as well.

Best explanation and video about this. I tried the paper clip, then the allen wrench, then the small punch. A real pain. Then I used a very fine blade tiny flat head screwdriver (I didn't have an exacto knife) and it FINALLY worked. Brand new weapon so everything may have been pretty tight. By the way, you can add SIG P365-380 to the list of what this works on.

Thank you so much for a very clear demonstration of how this works. I didn't have the right size Allen or paper clip but discovered a straight pin is perfect. I wanted to swap mine because the magazine gets held in with my palm when trying to use my thumb and I'm more comfortable using my trigger finger on the paddle style release of my USP. Was happy to discover it feels pretty much the same on the P365XL now. Thanks again!
@Torqd_Off2 жыл бұрын
I switched my mag release to the left side on my P365XL… I’d rather use my trigger finger then my thumb. I find I can do it quicker and easier and it falls free of my palm easier also. I’m thinking the P320 mag release does fit… I measured length and it’s right around 4mm longer. But I’ll bet it’ll go into a 365 frame??? I wish Sig had squared and ridged the 365 lines release like the 320 line. I wouldn’t have had to buy an aftermarket.

Thanks for the video. I started with my Armory Craft grip module. I couldn't get it out to save my life. Spent a hour last night and a hour this morning. Finally destroyed the smaller part and took it out in 2 pieces. Went on to my stock module and it came out first try. My other module from AC took 2 tries. Go figure. I replaced with the extended mag release from Armory Craft. Definitely a good upgrade.

A P365 user here. I couldn't use a Hex Head Allen wrench key to "crank" the Detent Pin out after a few hours of trying. I also couldn't do this with a a smaller and larger paperclip either. I finally had success after a few tries with the Scalpel method. I pushed a sporting knife pretty hard in between the Magazine Release Button and Detent Pin while applying pressure with an Hex Head Allen Wrench Key in the hole shown in the video and used leverage from the knife to push it out. I pulled it out with my fingers after it was protruding out. One thing I really learned from experience is that you MUST hold the magazine release button down the whole time and NEVER let go. It's definitely strenuous for larger hands, and mentally exhausting. but don't give up! Take a break, and come back to it if you must, but keep at it and be mindful of how much pressure you are applying. Thanks very much for the help. I will be using your videos for the rest of the modifications I will be doing to my Sig Sauer P365 Freedom.
