Abstract
An ambidextrous magazine latch arrangement for a pistol in which a hand-operable cross lever is positioned by resilient means against a frame portion of the pistol handle with lever ends protruding on either side of the handle. The lever has a latch protrusion which protrudes into the magazine to hold the magazine. By applying hand pressure to either lever end the lever twists against the resilient means to withdraw the latch protrusion out of the magazine to release the magazine.
