While shootin’ the lil’ darling yesterday, the magazine fell out. Never happened before. I t WAS tight but one of the shooters must have bent something back too far. It just isn’t tight to the mag well anymore. Now I know bending it is most likely the solution, but I also know that spring steel doesn’t like to be bent. Has anyone had this problem before I go gunsmifing on my own and ball something up?

I had something similar on a different gun but a flat spring like the Reising, I just bent it a very little at a time, test, repeat but a little bit more, etc. You probably don't need much of a change from where you are at now.

Ripped it apart, all it was, was a loose screw…just like me. Also tapped in the mag well pins and tightened up everything down below. Gun is running great. Blasted some targets at close range, kinda horrific how the 45s just demolish everything. Shoulda fixed this gun 30 years ago….
