Mag release retainer screw upgrade options for SP-01?

[Jmoser]

Ordered extended mag release, spare spring and screw.  Would really like a torx head replacement screw; I see on other posts that some models can use a generic M3 screw of appropriate length.

Is this screw universal across all full size models?  Has anyone used their own?

Not going to restake - with a torx head I feel threadlocker will be suitable.  Purple low strength Loctite is great for this size thread.

As always experienced advice is greatly appreciated !!

Going to shoot a 60 rd PPC match this weekend, dropping in the steel recoil rod also.  Worked out a couple kinks in grips and holster after first match, hoping to see higher score.

IIRC, David at CGW recommends against using thread locker on this screw. Re-staking isn't a big deal at all.

To my knowledge the Mag Catch Spring Screw is the same in all of the full size and Compact CZ75 variant pistols.

So I stuck with the factory screw - FYI it is M3.5 x 0.6 thread.  Couldn't get torx locally and Allen head only in 16mm long.

Put in the CGW HD mag guide also, a much better design to nest between the frame ears.

I think there is a much better approach than factory staked screw; maybe a vibration resistant washer under a std torx head screw.
