Got my new micro and as usual with a new firearm went to cleaning it. It’s pretty obvious that the factory test fired it because the barrel and breech face was pretty fouled. No biggie, some patches, CLP and elbow grease took care of it.
Next went to look over the mag. I know Glock OEM mags release the base plate by squeezing the base of the mag sides and sliding off the base plate. Since this is a steel mag, I figured it probably doesn’t work the same way. So how do you remove the base plate on these critters? I looked for a pin to depress like the Hellcat and there isn’t one of those. I really don’t want to go doing a lot of experimentation on my only mag.
At the bottom of both the Slick and Black PSA Micro Dagger mags, there is the little PSA logo. If you simply depress that in, with say a Bic Pen tip, and pull the base plate forward, it’ll remove the entire base plate while keeping pressure on the PSA logo until the base plate it completely removed. Be careful, either put on some safety glasses, or make SURE you point the magazine base plate AWAY from your face and eyes while removing it. It is under a good amount of spring pressure, no need for an emergency run to your local Med-Express or E.R.
Yeah buddy, good deal! There is a tiny little circular indent on the base plate as well, I’m sure ya noticed that as well. I wasn’t sure which to try a year ago when I first got my hands on some Micro Mags. But I ended up trying the little PSA Logo first and BAM! That was it
