I don’t even know if you realize how helpful your videos have been to all of us. You save us time, money, headaches and tons of frustration. Thank you so much!
I just fought with my mag release for a good hour trying to get that little notch. and with this, under a minute. you sir gets a follow and a like. Thank you for this, really needed it
It is absolutely infuriating that SIG first puts out such a poorly designed part, and second, doesn't include a suitable tool. I can't find anything suitable around the house, so I'll have to make a special trip to the hardware store to, hopefully, find a tool that will work. I sure won't get this done tonight. Again, there is no excuse for such poor engineering. Whoever designed this should be fired.
Thanks so much. After watching your video, I first did this on a replica, and then on my P320 when I finally got it. Appreciate the clear/concise direction!
If anyone has trouble using the allen key method to walk out the locking tab, that exacto blade method is super easy. Use your allen to force space between the 2 parts, and your exacto blade should go almost all the way in right off rip! I just bought a P320 AXG, it was very resistant to change until i did what i just deacribed. Wonderful, informative video. Couldn't have removed this part without your video, kind sir. Thank you very much!
"[...] people are probably getting mad right now because they've worked at these for half an hour and given up." Spot on! Watching you just repeatedly move that thing around with the allen wrench after I jacked with mine until I broke it and lost the spring in the "rapid unscheduled disassembly" that ensued. Thanks for demonstrating at least that it CAN be done competently.
Thanks Sig Guy! Someone gave me another SIG X5 and I had to switch the mag release. Of course I forgot your original instructions but 2 minutes of your video and I got the job done!
Thank you for this video. Just got a Wilson Combat grip for my P365 and was glad it came with the new mag release in the kit so I didn't have to remove the one from the old grip. It wasn't the easiest thing I've had to do but after watching a couple of times I was able to get the button pushed in far enough against the spring to get the keeper in place! Thumb will never be the same!! Hey they're 74 year old thumbs... give me a break! LOL
SigGuy, your instructional videos are the best on TH-cam. Not only do you explain in detail the how but you also explain in detail the why. I'm the kind of person who can do something so much better if I know the mechanics behind the mechanism. I changed out two of these on my Sig P365, used both methods and both worked flawlessly. Thank you so much for your great videos, they are greatly appreciated!
I just picked up my Sig 320 today and needed to change the release as I am left handed. The first video I watched was near as good at explaining. Once I saw your rocking method, it took me less than a minute to remove. Much appreciated.
I did this recently with a P320 M18 CA with a small paper clip and it was very easy. Be sure to do this over a table top or other flat surface in case the tiny sping falls out when you remove the release from the slot.
Thanks, wanted to switch to a left-handed mag release for my SIG SAUER SIGAIR P320: M18. It worked well and now I know how to change/switch the mag release on SiG’s.👍🏽
SIG GUY ... received my AC extended mag release button today that I ordered from your website ... first, delivery was fast, thank you! Second, I followed your instruction (very clear) and removed/replaced it using the sim card tool ... worked well, thank you for sharing your knowledge! Your attention to detail is phenomenal, could not be any clearer. TS 👍👍😊
You presented a clear, concise process for performing what - for most uninitiated folks (like myself) - was just unmanageable. Excellent, immensely helpful presentation. Thanks a million!
The straightened paper clip method worked great, and exactly as shown on the video. Been enjoying your videos on the P320, and learning a lot. Thank you for the informative content. Keep up the good work!
Thank you ! I'm doing my first build ,with my P365xl fcu. I'm using an Icarus grip and a Fdez slide. LOL! I didn't know the grip came without the mag release. Removed one from my p365xl in 5mins, thanks to you.
Very first time I did it, I tried the Allen wrench method and of course I put a little ding in the grip module. And I tried the razor blade method and it worked very easily right away. Thank you!
Love your videos just wish the words didn't run over the video instead of across the bottom so I could watch the demo. But very informative, thanks. My first gun with a clip.
Thank you! This is the best video for the P365 mag release removal! I wasn't able to make the allen wrench method work because it bent, but I was successful with the exacto knife.
This rocks, got my new extended mag release, used a paperclip and walked it right out, took 10 seconds no damage at all slipped the new one in, total process took me maybe 2 minutes after having watched your video a few times!
Right! I completely destroyed my first one to include mucking up the custom module. Other videos made it look more complicated. The Allen wrench works perfect for me. It already damaged the exacto method has bailed me out as well.
I am definitely someone who worked at it for awhile but I didnt have as informative of a guide as you so I am relieved you showed it in a much better way. I appreciate it.
Best explanation and video about this. I tried the paper clip, then the allen wrench, then the small punch. A real pain. Then I used a very fine blade tiny flat head screwdriver (I didn't have an exacto knife) and it FINALLY worked. Brand new weapon so everything may have been pretty tight. By the way, you can add SIG P365-380 to the list of what this works on.
Thanks for the video. The easiest "tool", which is officially recommended in the P320 armorer's course, is a paperclip. Another tip that nobody does on youtube (maybe to make filming easier), is to point the "muzzle" of the grip module to the ceiling. Why fight gravity? A couple swipes with a paperclip with the grip pointed skyward and it's out. Nothing could be simpler, and causes no damage to the catch.
Thanks for the paper clip tip. This saved me a bunch off hassle. I tried Allen wrench first then razor but didn’t like how it was going. Decided to check out the comments and I was glad I did. Ty!
Thanks for the video. I started with my Armory Craft grip module. I couldn't get it out to save my life. Spent a hour last night and a hour this morning. Finally destroyed the smaller part and took it out in 2 pieces. Went on to my stock module and it came out first try. My other module from AC took 2 tries. Go figure. I replaced with the extended mag release from Armory Craft. Definitely a good upgrade.
BRUH!!!!! I spent more time looking for an instructional video than I spent following your steps!! Spot on!! Helped me change out the stock grips of my wife's 365 to the XL frame. Thanks a lot!!
Thanks for the tip.. I watched a video of someone that tried pulling it out with their fingernails and they had a HELL of a time. Rhe rocking back and forth with a small skinny nail worked for me! Good tip showing how it works BEFORE trying it. Really helped me understand how it’s made. THANKS!
Here's what I found doing this: The allen key method seems easiest and if you have the right size allen key available. I have several allen key kits. All of mine only go down to 1.5, which for me was too big. After trying a paper clip (paper clip bends too much), I gave up on this method and found a hobby knife I use for my 3D printers. It was done in a matter of seconds. It took longer finding the right tool, lol. Thanks for this vid though, quite helpful even though it is 4 years old!
A P365 user here. I couldn't use a Hex Head Allen wrench key to "crank" the Detent Pin out after a few hours of trying. I also couldn't do this with a a smaller and larger paperclip either. I finally had success after a few tries with the Scalpel method. I pushed a sporting knife pretty hard in between the Magazine Release Button and Detent Pin while applying pressure with an Hex Head Allen Wrench Key in the hole shown in the video and used leverage from the knife to push it out. I pulled it out with my fingers after it was protruding out. One thing I really learned from experience is that you MUST hold the magazine release button down the whole time and NEVER let go. It's definitely strenuous for larger hands, and mentally exhausting. but don't give up! Take a break, and come back to it if you must, but keep at it and be mindful of how much pressure you are applying. Thanks very much for the help. I will be using your videos for the rest of the modifications I will be doing to my Sig Sauer P365 Freedom.
andrew71888 I’ve always had a hard time getting these out. I was so happy when I found a way with the Allen wrench. I’ve destroyed many along the way. Lol. Excellent news about your success. Thank you very much for the compliment also.
This a well done video that clearly walks you though the change. I am right handed and have very small hands, and had to really stretch to reach the right hand mag release. I changed the mag release to a left hand release and it is perfect. Just roll the gun clockwise (which is what you always do to change mags) and it now lines up perfectly with my right finger. This really decreases the time for a mag change. This should work with extra large hands as well.
could not for the life of me get the punch/paperclip/allen wrench method to work. A combination of a paperclip and the blade made it easy. Sig had so much oil in there the catch was effectively stuck so that combo did the trick...many thanks.
Thanks for this explanation. I got a P365 SAS the other day and I’m a lefty. Super easy and well described. Edit: I did it in about 2 minutes with a paper clip.
Thank you so much for a very clear demonstration of how this works. I didn't have the right size Allen or paper clip but discovered a straight pin is perfect. I wanted to swap mine because the magazine gets held in with my palm when trying to use my thumb and I'm more comfortable using my trigger finger on the paddle style release of my USP. Was happy to discover it feels pretty much the same on the P365XL now. Thanks again!
I switched my mag release to the left side on my P365XL… I’d rather use my trigger finger then my thumb. I find I can do it quicker and easier and it falls free of my palm easier also. I’m thinking the P320 mag release does fit… I measured length and it’s right around 4mm longer. But I’ll bet it’ll go into a 365 frame??? I wish Sig had squared and ridged the 365 lines release like the 320 line. I wouldn’t have had to buy an aftermarket.
Needed to switch to lefty so great video. The absolute best tool to do this with though, is a sim card tool for a cell phone. Perfect size with a little handle to get in the hole and manipulate it. Took literally 2 seconds. Thanks again!
Thanks for the great explanation and demonstration. Replaced my mag release with a extended left hand release and your video made it very easy. I used the paper clip method and it worked like great. Thanks
Thanks so much for the vid.. razor blade method worked perfect for me ... my first sig .. watched another video before this one and all it did was get me to scrap up my release button.. so thanks a lot I was really lost on this !
Anytime sir. Also Armory Craft will be coming out with their P3 20 magazine release button shortly. They are the extended ones if you need to replace the one you got scratched up. Thank you for the compliment I really appreciate it.
Wow, what a helpful video! Struggled with this until I saw exactly how the pieces fit together. Once I saw that, swapping the release was very easy. Did it with one of my wife’s hair pins! Hah. Thanks!
Thank you so much man. Just got the polished blue control parts kit and needed a video to focus explicitly on removing and changing the magazine release, all other videos I found only go over replacing the slide or grip module with a mag release button pre installed
Awesome video! I had seen other videos showing both methods you present here separately ... I did not have an allen wrench small enough ... I was able to walk out the retaining tab with a paper clip though. No scratches, no muss/fuss ... took 15 seconds once I found the proper tool (paper clip) ... lol. Cheers!
I’ve given up. I just ordered a half dozen wedges from Sig. 4 projects and I’ve yet to change a mag release with out complete destruction of the wedge. On two occasions I actually had to cut them out small pieces at a time. Less hassle and aggravation just to replace them.
Once again great video! You're a great resource for us out here playing around for the first time. I liked the little allen key method, thanks. I also received my p320 stand "love it"
Watched this and it helped a 1000%. Just watched your video, and did it step-by-step with you and it worked like a charm. I used the allen method as well. Perfection! Switched out the grip mod on my newly acquired M17. Also, watched your video on how to take the optic plate off, very, very well done "how to" videos! Definitely going to sub!
Best comment ever. Thank you very much for the kind words. Glad the videos helped. Compliments like yours is the reason I do them. Thank you very much.
@@SigGuy absolutely! well deserved credit! And you're very thorough with explaining how it should be, even through multiple different methods to get it done. Definitely like your videos. If you guys have a SIG, come to this guys page, and it'll help with everything! Keep it up SigGuy!
Nice video, thank you. Left handed and I need to change my mag release to the other side... Tried the paper clip method and just wasn't getting it till now. I made the mistake you describe in the video so now I have a tiny mark in the grip from the paper clip! 🙁.
Great video the part about understanding how it works first was a real plus. I watched the other video on this and couldn't get it until watching yours. Thanks
There seems to be a small ledge on the wedge piece of my P365 which allowed me to grab with my fingernail and pull it out while pushing the locking tab with an allen wrench. I tried walking it out with the allen wrench and it wasn't moving at all. Once I pushed the tab it pulled right out.
when my mag realize is filled depress i can not see any hole for the allen wrench i pried the release up and forced the wrench,but the location you tell on the video does move anything going to go to a gunsmith to get it fixed i see what yo want me to do,but a least i know how it should work . these are plastic piece that are not all the same.
Good Video! I just noticed that Armory Craft does not include the Mag Catch Stop (AC calls it the 'wedge') and Spring for my P320 M18 and Wilson Combat WCP320 and Icarus Precision frames. I now need to purchase these seperately....not happy about that! Question: Do I need to purchase the SIG 'OEM' parts in order for everything to work properly or will other aftermarket parts work? (I see some on Wilson Combat site etc.)....
I don’t even know if you realize how helpful your videos have been to all of us. You save us time, money, headaches and tons of frustration. Thank you so much!
I just fought with my mag release for a good hour trying to get that little notch. and with this, under a minute. you sir gets a follow and a like. Thank you for this, really needed it
I fought it for 3 fucking days...
I'm left handed and I just used this video to change my mag release on the other side. Thank you, great video!
Am also left handed and def didn’t know it was this easy to remove happy I found this video
Can this be done on a P365 also?
Same here
It is absolutely infuriating that SIG first puts out such a poorly designed part, and second, doesn't include a suitable tool.
I can't find anything suitable around the house, so I'll have to make a special trip to the hardware store to, hopefully, find a tool that will work.
I sure won't get this done tonight.
Again, there is no excuse for such poor engineering. Whoever designed this should be fired.
Same but i cant find a small piece to fit in there 🤦🏽♂️
This video hands down is more precise and instructive than any from sig or Wilson . Made the installation much easier and quicker than the others. TX😅
Thanks so much. After watching your video, I first did this on a replica, and then on my P320 when I finally got it. Appreciate the clear/concise direction!

Dude, thank you! I was struggling and couldn't get the darn thing out using a punch. The razor blade method is super quick and easy! You're the man!
Dude!!! X-ACTO knife for the win. 3 seconds flat and it was out. I award you 10,000 likes! Thank you!
Thanks Sig Guy!
Someone gave me another SIG X5 and I had to switch the mag release. Of course I forgot your original instructions but 2 minutes of your video and I got the job done!
Allen wrench method worked like a charm. I like that u showed the pieces and what exactly needed to happen in order for the piece to be released.
Thank you for the great compliment I can’t stand directions that are not clear! Drives me nuts. Glad this. Idea helped bud. 🤙🏼

@@SigGuy what kind of p365 grip module is that?
Literally took less than 30 seconds out and back in. Used a paper clip. Thank you! Your video was the best and most informative!
I just picked up my Sig 320 today and needed to change the release as I am left handed. The first video I watched was near as good at explaining. Once I saw your rocking method, it took me less than a minute to remove. Much appreciated.
I always enjoy hearing the success stories. Thank you very much for the compliment sir. Enjoy the 320. You are gonna love it!

Paperclip bent on me...guess I need a better paperclip.
Every time I push to release the latch, the catch pushes in more not out
Great descriptions. Great demo. The explanations before with the release out, to picture what was going on, was very helpful. Well done.
I’m also left handed and have never reversed the mag release until now. This video made it easy! Thank you!

I used the x-acto method. First try, it popped out. 🤯
Great video!!! Thank you.
It took a while but ended with full success. Great tutorial mate!

Excellent presentation, did it with the exacto blade cause I didn’t have the Allen tool.
No problem… thanks for
The video .
Thanks for this explanation. I got a P365 SAS the other day and I’m a lefty. Super easy and well described.
Edit: I did it in about 2 minutes with a paper clip.
did it with back of earing
Thank you so much for a very clear demonstration of how this works. I didn't have the right size Allen or paper clip but discovered a straight pin is perfect. I wanted to swap mine because the magazine gets held in with my palm when trying to use my thumb and I'm more comfortable using my trigger finger on the paddle style release of my USP.

Thanks brother, got mine out in about three minutes using a paper clip and flipped back in in two tries, making sure not to drop the spring.
Great videos. I learn more every time. Installed a flat trigger in my P365. Keep up the good work.

Thorough and quick explanation. Thanks!
Thank you! Your video explains it much better than the manual😂 it 30 seconds and good tip about the spring
Wow, what a helpful video! Struggled with this until I saw exactly how the pieces fit together. Once I saw that, swapping the release was very easy. Did it with one of my wife’s hair pins! Hah. Thanks!

Edit: paper clip worked a lot easier than the Allen wrench. RIP my 1/15 Allen 🥲 bent and never the same
Thanks, an impossible task on my P320
Compact until I saw the Exacto method. Flawless victory!
FINISH HIM!!! 🤙🏼
Awesome video! I had seen other videos showing both methods you present here separately ... I did not have an allen wrench small enough ...

Try as i might, i cant get the wedge to walk out with the allen. But a dull razor blade worked just fine
Great video. The exacto knife trick worked first try. Thank you
Thanks man. Been looking for a good dude to follow for the 365 part kit as I'm doing a custom paint job
Nice video, thank you. Left handed and I need to change my mag release to the other side... Tried the paper clip method and just wasn't getting it till now. I made the mistake you describe in the video so now I have a tiny mark in the grip from the paper clip! 🙁.
same here
First try- less than 1 minute. Thank you so much!
Exactly what I was looking for an perfectly informative. Thank you sir
Anytime sir. Please let me know if you need anything else.
I appreciate you breaking it down outside the gun
Thank you! Just got a new grip module to play with and this was perfect :) - had a tiny drill bit on hand that I was able to use to remove the release
A steel dental pick worked great for me, as I didn't have a suitable allen key handy. Great reference video! Thanks!
Your how to’s are awesome man thank you. 2” 18ga brad nail worked well for me 👍👍
18 gauge brad nail worked for me. Thanks for the video.
The hero we always needed... but maybe not the one we deserved
I did it! Thanks man. I put it on the other side since I'm left handed
Thanks I got it with the exacto knife method. I appreciate your video!
Thanks so much, very clear demo. Worked perfectly.
Thank you! Razor blade method worked right away.
Exacto knife method way easier on my P322 IMO. Thank you!
Great video the part about understanding how it works first was a real plus. I watched the other video on this and couldn't get it until watching yours. Thanks
The best compliment I could get. Thank you very much sir!
This video saved my Wilson Combat grip as I was playing around trying to figure out the release direction and inserted it without the spring 🤣
Razor blade worked like a charm thanks!
Wow, made it really easy with the tiny wrench. Thank you.
Thank you! Super instructions! Can you post the brand/make that nice looking grip module for P365 please?
That is an Armory Craft sniper gray grip module. Thank you for the compliment.
Allen Wrench method was SOOOO EASY!! Thank you..
There seems to be a small ledge on the wedge piece of my P365 which allowed me to grab with my fingernail and pull it out while pushing the locking tab with an allen wrench. I tried walking it out with the allen wrench and it wasn't moving at all. Once I pushed the tab it pulled right out.
Great video and helped a lot changing out Wilson combat grips
Sir , please where did you got the mag catch in coyote tan???
Thanks for this...I should be using it soon when I buy a wilson combat grip module for my Sig p365 x macro
Excellent video. You are able to explain procedures like this really well. Thanks -
when my mag realize is filled depress i can not see any hole for the allen wrench i pried the release up and forced the wrench,but the location you tell on the video does move anything going to go to a gunsmith to get it fixed i see what yo want me to do,but a least i know how it should work . these are plastic piece that are not all the same.
This video saved me sooooo much grief... Thank you
Now THATS what I like to hear. Thank you and you are welcome sir! 🙏🏼
Good Video! I just noticed that Armory Craft does not include the Mag Catch Stop (AC calls it the 'wedge') and Spring for my P320 M18 and Wilson Combat WCP320 and Icarus Precision frames. I now need to purchase these seperately....not happy about that! Question: Do I need to purchase the SIG 'OEM' parts in order for everything to work properly or will other aftermarket parts work? (I see some on Wilson Combat site etc.)....
I have the OEM wedge and spring on my website if you are interested. www.sigguy.com/product-page/sig-sauer-p320-magazine-catch-stop
Easy breezy...thanks for the tips.
Would like to see on p365. P320 was easy. 365 is much tougher.
Where do you get your laser grip stippling done NICE 👍🏻
Chris Grignon those grip modules are from Armory Craft.
I’m with you, I prefer the Allen wrench method! Works perfect.
