ABSTRACT:
An ambidextrous release for gun magazines for semi automatic pistols such as Colt, government Model "Colt", and other semi automatic pistols. The new release is built into conventional gun magazine release structures and it only requires a catch lock release lever which is positioned externally of the gun butt or grip on the right side thereof as one holds the pistol operatively. Such lock release lever has a free end normally positioned spaced from the gun butt, the lever being operatively carried by the control extension on the catch body of the magazine release by means of a slot formed in such extension and pivotally positioning one end of the catch lock release lever therein, a fulcrum member operatatively positioned on such catch lock release lever bears on an outer end of the catch lock release member so that when the free end the catch lock release lever is forced inwardly towards the gun butt, the opposite end of such lever moves the entire magazine catch body towards the right to release the magazine by action of the conventional lock members engaging the same, but whereby the release action is readily obtained from the right hand side of the pistol structure.
