Disabling The Magazine Safety On A Model 52
I know that some shooters like to disable the magazine safety on their pistols. It's very easy to do on the Model 52. First remove the magazine then rack the slide keeping it open with the slide stop. With a Torx # 5 screwdriver remove the small Rear Sight Lock Screw located on the right side of the sight (looking from the rear). With a small wooden dowel, tap the left side of the Rear Sight towards the right until the Ejector Depressor Plunger well is fully exposed (see pic below). Remove the Ejector Depressor Plunger Spring as well as The Ejector Depressor Plunger itself located below the spring. You now can tap the Rear Sight with your wooden dowel back to it's original position. Reinstall the Rear Side Lock Screw and your good to go.
