Its my Loaded Black Stainless. Well, its not serious but it was the screw or bolt that holds the extended mag well to the frame. Anyone know what I can use to keep this thing from falling out?

It sounds like the mainspring housing pin - - - that pin is held in by a spring snapping into a groove in the pin. Sounds like gunsmith time 'cause that ain't supposed to happen it takes a good bit of force to remove that pin normally.

If you are talking about the screw on the bottom,

if you back it out, put a little Loctite on the threads (Blue would probably work), and tighten her back up, you should be good to go.

Yeah, that screw, a #6 1/2 screw took care of it.
