Galloway Precision sells a metal one that they say prevents that issue. It does require you to press the mag release button as you insert the magazine but 100 rounds fired after it was Installed and the magazine stayed put.

I’m really surprised that this happened. My reason for wanting to change to a metal release from my plastic release is to prevent the mag from falling out. Mine hasn’t started falling out but I want to make sure it doesn’t happen at the wrong time. I would think it will eventually start to fail as the plastic wears down. I’ve had the bodyguard for almost 5 years but it doesn’t get used much.
Makes me wonder if I’m better off going with the Galloway instead of factory even tho the Galloway version is aluminum instead of steel.
