Exactly the video I was looking for. I shoot lefty, therefore nothing comes made for me. This was quick easy and I got it swapped out on my P320 X Carry before the video was even over. Thanks!
Same, im left handed. I own CZ's but going to pick up a X-Carry tomorrow, trading my CZ Scorpion for it. And needed to find a way to convert over, otherwise the XCarry does me little to no good
Brilliant, thank you! I swapped my P320 to left-handed... unfortunately, I had to swap it back - - BE AWARE - - my Kydex holster makes contact with the LH release button, and my magazine was on the ground before I finished unholstering the gun. Lefties, look out for this problem!
I tried a 1/16" drill bit and it was too big as well. Finally I watched another video that suggested using a tiny Allen wrench. I found one small enough to fit and was able to switch the mag release to the other side
thank you very much this video was very helpful I had bought a Sig 2022 and the lady that I bought it from was left-handed and I couldn't figure out how to switch it back to a right-handed mag release thank you
I just swapped mine around today, and I found there’s a little divot in the side of the detent. If you press in the mag release and the allen key with one hand, you can pull the detent with a finger nail, first try.
This is an old vid but this helped me so much on my m17 im a lefty so being able to switch it is amazing my leatherman really helped get the small slot on the detent to pry it out
Not sure if you're still reading comments now. I want to know what brand was the pin punch you're using? I was using a 1/16 pin punch from Starrett, but the pin was slightly bigger than the hole so that I cannot get it done......thanks~!
A pin also works if that doesn't fit you can also use a smaller sized punch the size a punch doesn't really matter it's just depressing a release down hope that helps
@@ThePortableHam The smallest pin I have is 1/16. I've also tried something like a needle and it was so dangerous, especially the moment it broken into pieces (just like that you saw in movies). I'll try to get another one from HomeDepot, thanks~
This magazine catch swap for left handers was beyond annoying. I've tried for days with paper clips, that didn't work so I read the comments and went out to get some t-pins. It worked but I put a little damage on the frame.
Get a T-Pin from any office supply store. I couldn't get it to come apart with a paper clip and the T-Pin with the pin end gave enough bite to get it to come apart first attempt.
Im curious to the need to break the pistol down? I just did the release swap on my P365 (using paperclip) in the time it took you to break down the pistol. once it is clear and safe your good to go!!!!
Bryan Druce the detent is a little finicky if you press too hard it won't really see if you pressed you lately it won't release you need to find a happy medium and kind of slowly move it up and down until you find the release point hopefully that helps you out if you have any other questions feel free to shoot me another message
I finally broken down and found a safety pin, it was able to move more freely in the 1/with hole, and the point of it put the right pressure on the right spot, and it came out. I laughed at myself for 5 minutes for not having troubleshooting my options and having spent half of a day on the swap . Thank for the video post, with the switch over I have been practicing my new reload method to go wìth the new grip method I picked up from Jon Lovell
Thank you for the video mate! I suppose this mag release is a precaution to the newer Sig Sauer's. In the previous series like the P226, Mag release was held by a little stopper pin which could be locked in to position in two different orientations. But could only be taken out if inserted correctly. Otherwise the lock enters completely to the frame making it impossible to dissassemble again. You actually have to break the frame in order to take the mag release out again. Though this one looks a bit more trickier, seems to be more fail-safe
Nahtay you're welcome and also a paperclip or small needle works people have been telling me that they have been getting quicker results using those instead of the punch
I thought it was just me I installed a Wilson lower put it in wrong side now I can’t get it off I’m gonna have a drink and look at porn to relax then att3ntion it again…
For anyone that may have found this method difficult or had issues, I found a different way of doing things. Here it is if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/a6FvmnKK0A4/w-d-xo.html
What a joke. They can't design a fucking mag release. They can't design a safe firearm. The slide finish sucks, The front serrations suck. The trigger sucks. A full magazine is like trying to get a full mag into an MP5, just ridiculously difficult. If you're reading this, and want a P320RX, I'm selling one.
I still have mine. It's going off to the factory to get the voluntary upgrade. And then I'm selling it. The modularity is cool. But the slide conversion are always out of stock. Grips are out of stock. And if you want a small grip, good luck. Hopefully it selss for a chunk of change that will fund a "Gucci Glock" as they say. Enjoyed your video. But it pissed me off usng the 1/16 punch and wanting 3 hands. So I made my own video on how I did it. Kinda half ass guessed on an idea and it worked. Thanks for oyur video! I left a link to yours as it's the best quality I have seen and in case my method doesn't work for some people. th-cam.com/video/a6FvmnKK0A4/w-d-xo.html
Fuck this Sig. Absolute garbage. I hate mine. It’s such a bitch to work on. I’ve lost and searched for tiny pieces. I’ve broken prices. I feel bad for the poor soul that has to be an armorer for this shit. The M9 and Glock are ten times easier to do any work on. Good video but fuck that gun
Even minor work like this is not 'little stupid tedious stuff'. You did a perfect job and gave me all the info I need. Thank you..

This was awesome. You did great. If I didn't see you struggle, I would have thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks so much.
This video is still very helpful. Just switched over my mag release on my 320x compact thanks to you. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
My wife is a lefty and will appreciate your information.

I'm happy I could help
Thanks, worked like a champ for my P365!
Great tutorial! Just swapped mine over using a paperclip as suggested in someone else's video.
Thank you. I’m left handed and this was very helpful for my p320.
Almost 2021 and this just worked for me. Thanks for the vid.
Tranferring the mag release to the right makes it easier for left handed shooters to release the mag from the gun
Thank you for this video! Just flipped my mag release!

thx bro, was tricky until you mentioned holding it from the inside with your finger, worked great.
Glad to help
This is an old vid but this helped me so much on my m17 im a lefty so being able to switch it is amazing my leatherman really helped get the small slot on the detent to pry it out
I was thinking about doing this but ive learned how to use my left middle finger pretty effectively. Maybe ill try this in the future though
thanks so much. the manual was difficult to get an idea of how the detent was setup. Thanks again!
Christopher Pinto I'm glad I could help
I found it easier to push the 'detent' in with a paperclip, and then push it down into the magwell rather than trying to pull it out
I'm good to here you found a faster way to get it done and thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
This helped for my 365xl... thank you!
Thanks a lot from Italy!
switched mine, but found I preferred using my trigger finger for mag release. Switched back
How did you figure this out? It wasn't in the manual like it should have been.
My 1/16" punch wouldn't fit. I'll try to find a smaller punch and see if I can get it to work
Not sure if you're still reading comments now. I want to know what brand was the pin punch you're using? I was using a 1/16 pin punch from Starrett, but the pin was slightly bigger than the hole so that I cannot get it done......thanks~!

Thanks for the vid! I actually named mine the “Pig” LOL
Life saver. Ok now do a bunch of videos on stripping every part from the p320
thank you for this video when i get my sig P320 X5 Legion i can switch it from right hand to left hand instead of switching hands to load the mag .
Half the battle is getting the detent out.
Another video, the guy uses a regular paper clip, 📎, 😉... a 1/16th punch seems a bit big...
This magazine catch swap for left handers was beyond annoying. I've tried for days with paper clips, that didn't work so I read the comments and went out to get some t-pins. It worked but I put a little damage on the frame.

Sheepdog42 rockin
Great tutorial!!! Thanks
Do you have to swap it with the gun stripped or can the gun be assembled as well?
No you don't need to Take the gun down you can do it with it assembled
Im curious to the need to break the pistol down? I just did the release swap on my P365 (using paperclip) in the time it took you to break down the pistol. once it is clear and safe your good to go!!!!
MasterWoodsman 87 there isn't a need to but I was cleaning it when I shot the video so it was already apart lol
Will this work for the p365xl? It has a similar shaped mag release
nice video. we just did a install on our extended mag release from springer.
It's almost picking out a sliver. LOL. Thanks brotha. Now I know.
This is why I prefer ambi mag releases, cuz literally every gun with a reversible mag release requires fine motor skills which are beyond me.
thanks for the video it helped and was super easy to flip for ease of use
do you have to strip it?
It does look tedious, but how does that compare to changing the Smith and Wesson M&P's magazine release?
AzuMentch36 Is the
Is it the same way to switch the mag released from left to right on a p226
I don't think so
Worked great on my M17
Can I change the release without taking the gun apart?
Yes you can
I don't have a Smith & Wesson M&P just yet but I will be doing one here shortly for a friend at that happens to be a southpaw
Thanks for posting. Really helpful, sir!
this is wearing on my thumb on button side, I have a punch in the hole at what point does the detent release?

Bryan Druce it’s just a piece of shit gun that Sig failed to do any proper R&D on.
can it be done on a sig 365?
I'm not sure I don't own or have had a chance to mess with a 365 sorry
Thanks for info, paper clip and needle nose pliers are good tools to use for this job too
Real operators run mag buttons on left side cause we are skilled!
Jets1230 lmao

Can confirm, I accidentally assembled mine incorrectly and was able to disassemble it normally still
Great job, thanks.
Man this is so fucking hard on the p365 i still cant get it out fuck it my thumb has a triangle imprint
I want to put them in a named special folder
Sadly I no longer have a 320 lol sorry
"Pig 320".... that's exactly how " feel about mine
Thanks bruv
Thnx!
lol pig 320... anyway good instructional video bro..thanks for showing me this..I had no idea before
Sammi Miller I try to help as much as possible if you have any other suggestions for videos feel free to comment
Thank you!
Nahtay you're welcome and also a paperclip or small needle works people have been telling me that they have been getting quicker results using those instead of the punch
Yes I used two T-Pins and it was pretty easy.
My pig! Haha, thanks for the video.
Thx
