Any recommendations on using a metal magazine catch vs stock plastic one. Also, anyone know where to get a metal one?

Thanks.

I don't know of anyone making them for a P11. There used to be a guy making them for the P3AT over on KTOG...but he hasn't posted in awhile.

I've got I don't know how many thousands of rounds thru my P11 and never had any trouble with the plastic mag release. YMMV.

Metal is a whole lot better if you can find one and not just for the P-11.

When using a extended finger rest on the magazine that causes your hand to pull down on the magazine increasing the risk of shearing the magazine catch off.

If I remember right a number of years ago a member on here was selling steel magazine release buttons.

I AM NOT FOND OF ANYTHING MADE FROM PLASTIC ETC.

Stainless magazine catch wanted!



I understand that this is strictly a Kel Tec forum, but I ran into a similar problem with my S&W bodyguard .380 which also comes from a factory with a polymer magazine catch and I would really like to replace it with a stainless steel...
If you think you can possibly make one or know somebody who can please let me know.
Thank you.
