Hello,
I recently purchased a new G43 and have been having difficulties with the magazines sticking as in I have to literally pull them out once the mag catch is depressed. Originally i just figured that i'd need to monkey with the mag catch and my dremel a bit to find the offending area. I pulled the mag catch and found that even without it in the equation the mags still require some force to be inserted and extracted. Has anyone else had similar issues with the G43 and sticky mags?
Is that your gun?
I am guessing the stipple job was done with the magazine out of the gun, which can warp the grip/mag well area and cause such issues.

It is. The mag was doing the exact same thing prior to the stipple job. If that's the case it would certainly blow. I've done about a 15 or so other guns with the mags out and haven't had that issue. This is my first G43 stipple job though.

Try it left handed and see if it still sticks.

I've tried the mag catch both ways. I have it oriented so I activate it with my right index finger.
Just to clarify, holding the gun in your left hand and depressing the mag catch doesn't change anything?Originally Posted by Steinimal

I haven't tried holding the gun in my left hand. I can try when I get back to my desk. I'm not sure if it'll change much since the issue is present when the mag catch is removed.
I missed that in the original post. It's most likely not the issue I was thinking of.

Mine is also sticky out of the box. I just plan to strip the mag during reloads.

Wipe the magazine lightly with liquid silicone, it also works great in sticky holsters.
