What is the function of the part of the handgun indicated by the red arrow?

  1. Eject the magazine

  2. Safety switch

  3. Slide release

  4. Magazine release

The correct answer is: Magazine release

The red arrow in the question points to the magazine release, which is used to release the magazine from the handgun. Option A, ejecting the magazine, is incorrect as this is done by pulling the slide back. Option B, safety switch, is incorrect as it is typically located on the frame of the handgun and not near the magazine. Option C, slide release, is incorrect as it is usually located on the opposite side of the handgun. Therefore, the best choice is D, magazine release.
