Forgot that mod, forgive the brain-fart, please.

It's actually the most problematic on the Bernardelli--primarily due to its mag release that's on the bottom like the GT 27 or a Ruger Mark I.

Besides, by pulling a slide about 1/16 back more, it catches on the safety hold open and now you can drop the magazine out with the new button easily.

Nowhere this easy with the Bernardelli... Not so bad with an early Erma because the toggle is handy for holding it back while the mag is dropped.

Well, there are always compromises and sacrifices .

I'll vote for that!

I wish my Luger had a toggle release once the fresh magazine is in...like Lugerman,s.

John Martz came up with that, IIRC.
