Yeah I broke mine trying to bend the release tab a little. You can also get sears from Brownells. Keep in mind that the trigger pull may not be the same after you put the new sear in. Mine wouldn't adjust light enough and had terrible creep. A Rifle Basix trigger took care of that problem though. I'll have to look again but I think my 116 that has the bottom trigger guard release has the small gap in the stock still so might not have to be relieved.
