- As quoted from <1993Jan25.190352.13699@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu> by srinehar@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (Shawn L Rinehart):
-
- # I have a 1990 Browning Hi-Power 'Sport model' that might have a problem.
- # My gun will not eject an empty magazine once the slide is locked to the rear
- # (as happens after it is empty). If the slide is forward, it will usually pop it
- # out either 1 inch or all the way. It depends which magazine I use.
-
- This is due to the magazine safety which produces friction between itself
- and the magazine. I had mine taken out as soon as I got the gun. Not only
- does it let the magazine fall free, it helps the trigger pull too. Remember
- that it isn't there anymore if you have it taken out.
