The "more strength" thing is ridiculous. Either you can drop the mag or you cannot ... pressing the button <em>harder</em> doesn't accomplish anything. The near-universality of the standard strong thumb position is certainly true, but I focus on being as good as I can with the gun I actually carry rather than the what-if of some random pickup. Almost all modern handguns have either ambidextrous or reversible mag catches. AKWintermute – I use my trigger finger. The “more strength” thing is ridiculous.

I've read people using the trigger or middle finger on the shooting had. My local instructor still recommends using the thumb even if I have to shift my grip, since it offers more strength and most other weapons will function this way. Since the gun's new and I'm a fairly new shooter I haven't formed a habit yet, but just playing around with it the middle finger on my shooting had feels the most comfortable. Just thought I'd see how you do it and if you had an opinion. Hi Todd, I was wondering how you manipulate the magazine release on your P30?
