    Another option is the mag does not fully seat because the butt of the pistol is too long. I have a CT380 where the mag would not fully seat, the base of the front of the mag would bottom out on the polymer butt in the front. I tried numerous mags of mine and also several friends mags. It would bind the mag because the mag release would not go fully into the mag, which also made the release button almost impossible to push in to release the mag. On my other Kahrs there is a small gap between the mag and butt of the pistol, the CT mag was right up the the butt with no gap. I just used a fine file to remove some of the plastic on the front base of the butt. That solved my problem!

    I had the same problem with my P380. A guy on YouTube posted this solution, which worked for me.

    Disassemble your gun.
    Wrap a single layer fine grit (600) sandpaper around an empty magazine.
    Insert and withdraw the magazine several times into the magazine well.
    Clean the magazine channel to remove any residue.
    Insert a bare magazine without the sandpaper.
    Press the button to see if the problem has been corrected

    This simple process fixed my magazine problem. The mag now drops from my P380 when the button is pushed.
