ABSTRACT:
A magazine catch assembly for a firearm includes a pair of opposing magazine catches supported for pivotal movement toward and away from each other between magazine retaining and releasing positions. In the magazine retaining position the magazine catches cooperate with a part of a magazine to releasably secure the magazine within a magazine well. A manually operable actuating member disposed between the catches and biased toward a first position corresponding to the magazine retaining position of the catches is moveable to a latching position corresponding to the releasing position of the catches in response to movement to its second position whereby the magazine is free to drop from the magazine well. Movement of a magazine out of the magazine well resets the magazine catches in magazine retaining position.
