Well, I tried the mag test without the grips, but no change at all.

I should say that the old holdopen operated flawlessly until the little "L-prong" broke off at the rear. So the ledge should be fine; I don't see or feel a chip there. Unless it chipped when the old HO broke.... I am assuming that that little ledge is the bottom of the leading edge of the breech below where the firing pin exits when firing? One cannot see the edge of the holdopen at all when the toggle is locked back, so I'm not sure where exactly that ledge is located.

Now I see how the mag button pushes up the HO. That seems to be fine. The HO does rise quite a bit when inserting the mag.

Thanks....
