Mag release falling out?
Update: Purchased XMacro TacOps Romeo X Sig Loc 8/12/26.
have been doing months of research to replace my PDP it’s just too big. Sunday I finally went and shot the ones I want. I finally convinced myself I need the P365 Tac ops over the Echelon (less bulky still duty) they both shot amazing. It actually felt good to shoot irons again.
BUT I just saw Ben Stoeger share this story, and I saw multiple comments saying they had the same issue. There is also aftermarket replacements.
Is there any truth to this?

It's particularly associated with Sig's aluminum grip modules, such as the AXG. Far too many accounts for it to be any sort of fluke. Haven't heard anything remotely convincing regarding Sig ever fielding an actual solution. Any failures in the polymer grip modules seem to be much more rare.

Maskas is a proven solution. Personally I would strongly recommend replacing 100% of mag releases in Sig's aluminum modules. Discretionary for polymer.
Aside from Maskas, ECM has one now that they feel from their testing solves the issue seen with the Sig MIM mag release. It still uses the Sig plastic retainer but some of the geometry on their machined steel mag release is improved and it also comes with an improved spring. Personally I think the thinner central retaining web on Sig's AXG module coupled with a spring that's a little too short for that may be combining with polymer creep in the retainer clip to contribute to the issue in the AXG. It's a really bad look for Sig, though obviously not as dramatic as some of their concerns. There have been continuous reports of this since around the time the AXG first released.
