Recently purchased a G26 Gen 4 and since I'm a lefty, I switched the mag thumb release to the right side of the grip. Now, when inserting a magazine, the mag frequently catches on the notch area where the tension spring sits.

As I slam in a mag, I now have to apply counter-pressure in order to force the angle more to the back end of the mag well. Needless to say, this is not something I should have to worry about during mag insertion. I notice if I push on the opposite side of mag release first I can center it and then it does not catch. Obviously, this should not be necessary.

Any other lefties experience this issue? I also own a converted G19 Gen 4 and do not have this problem.

I'd return the mag release to the left side and train to do the release with the trigger finger.

I've shot (and medalled) in international IPSC PD division with a gen 3 G17. The trigger finger mag release will not hold you back.

I'm a lefty as well and also have a Gen4 G19 and a Gen4 G27. I switched both mag releases as well.

I actually posted about the magazine issue when I picked up my sub-compact.

My magazines after loading and dropping several times have started to go in alot easier now. I think it takes time for them to loosen up.
