Abstract
A magazine retainer that is actuable on both sides of an automatic pistol is mounted to pivot in a recess of the stock of the pistol. The recess or the magazine retainer is molded during the injection molding of the stock. The magazine retainer is provided with two lateral actuation plates which are positioned in openings on both sides of the rear portion of the trigger guard and these trigger guard openings have a depth which corresponds to the thickness of the actuation plates. Accordingly, the outer surfaces of the actuation plates conform smoothly with the outer surface of the firearm and there are no projecting portions thereof in the area where the trigger guard merges with the pistol stock.
