Abstract
A magazine catch for a firearm has a catch body, a leg extending longitudinally from the catch body to a distal end, where the leg has a first leg portion and a second leg portion spaced from one another by a longitudinal gap such that the second leg portion can flex independently of the first leg portion. A catch protrusion is on a distal end portion of the leg, where the longitudinal gap extends through the catch protrusion to define a first catch portion and a second catch portion. The magazine catch can be provided, for example, as a stand-alone component or component group, as part of a firearm, or in a parts kit for an existing firearm.
