Doug, I could probably do the job myself if I knew what it was that needed to be fixed. I'm an amateur gunsmith, but a reasonable and talented one. But I don't think it's worth fooling with, to be honest. Seems to me the best "fix" for it is just a new mag..... Sounds easy enough to me, now that you guys have confirmed it's the mag and not the gun.... :-P

Rick, if you're a "know nothing guy", you're doing and awfully good imitation of someone whos knows an awful lot! :-) I haven't tried to take the grip off and check it's function yet, but that's a good first step and the first thing I do once I'm home tonight. Thanks...
