Uzi Pistol Magazine stuck with the magazine catch

[lapicito]

Hi all,

I was shooting today my Uzi Pistol Semi auto 9mm and when i reloaded the gun the magazine got stuck with the magazine catch; once the magazine was locked up, the magazine catch did not release the magazine and i couldn't cocked or fired the gun. The only way to remove the magazine was disassembling the pistol grip. This is the second time that i shot this toy, the magazine is original.

Have any of you had this problem???

Thanks,


Luis.

I'm giving more information regarding the UZI:

Its an UZI Pistol 9mm --> IMI -Israel imported by Action Arms

All the magazines are Action Arms (20, 25 and 32 rounds).

I thought first that it was the magazine but it happened twice with different magazines, the curios thing was as soon i disassembled the grip (the plastic parts) i was able to press the magazine catch like if the magazine catch were locked with the grip. I double checked and there is nothing that block the magazine catch with the plastic grip.

Thanks for your help.
