Abstract
A magazine catch uses a spring biased plunger captured within a housing to bias the housing into engagement with a magazine to retain the magazine within the firearm. The plunger has a projection which engages the frame of the firearm. The plunger is rotatable relatively to the housing to orient the projection in opposite directions and thus permits the magazine catch to be reversibly positioned within the frame.
