I saw the poll in the semiauto pistol forum, and it made me think about my Browning BDA .45. Basically, this is a SIG P220 Euro with Browning markings. It has the European-style heel mounted mag release.

Even when the catch is opened, the magazines stay put pretty tight. I assume that this pistol has some feature designed for magazine retention. Can anyone confirm this is the case? If this is a feature, can it be removed? I'd like the mags to move a bit more freely.

Thanks for any help!
