    Default Is this normal?

    I just picked up my new K9 Elite. The small screw that keeps the magazine release from poping out does not look right to me. It seats pretty deep it the hole. How do correct it?

    It's normal, it looks just like my K's and my MK Kahrs, go shoot and enjoy your new gun.

    Well you could loosen it up. Really, just leave it alone. Good God.

    It's not a screw.

    It's a mag catch lock pin. Borrowed design from a 1911.

    Thank you all.

    Ed -- Can you tell me where you get your grip screws?

    They are the same thread as a 1911. Standard length usually works for wood grips.

    Got these on Amazon.

    They were labelled for thin grips, but I still had to put 0-rings under them to keep them flush fitting, and to keep the mag from hitting them when inserted.

    Not really what you were asking about, but I had to share.
