Function
The magazine catch spring provides the tension that keeps the magazine catch engaged and the magazine locked securely in the grip. When the magazine release is pressed, the spring allows the catch to disengage and drop the magazine free. Weak or broken spring tension causes unexpected magazine drops or difficult releases — replacing this spring restores reliable magazine retention.
