You would think by now they'd have something this stupid fixed, no matter who's driving the tractor.

Check out Old Dog's picture in his post. You'll see that the P365 has a standard curved metal trigger while the XL has a straight trigger.
The XL has the flat trigger and the 365’s is curved.
I find myself drawn to these newer micro 9's. I particularly find myself liking the idea of the XL. The thing is I have already had 2 subcompact 9's. It seems like I always carry them for a while & then decide I don't like them & want something different or revert to a larger .40 caliber mid-sized pistol. The little single stack micro 9 I own now seldom gets carried I dislike it because I dislike how small the grip is. Then if I do buy I had to decide whether or not to keep the little micro 9 I have now or sell it to get some of the money back out of it.
I have pretty big mitts and I was very pleasantly surprised at how well the XL fit me. I carry a 12-rd mag in the gun and a 15-rd backup. I’m pretty happy with 28 rds.

Isn't the Mossberg 9mm auto a microcompact gun? Haven't handled one like have the others the OP listed.

Yes, but it is low-capacity at 6 rounds. Like the Glock 43.
Internally the same then, that is what I was asking, mybad.

SwampWolf, IMHO and you should know what opinions are worth, I think you made an excellent choice. Since I just popped for the romeo version of the XL my opinion may be a little prejudiced. I had the means to check all it's compeitition out except for the new Shield which wasn't on the market yet and came to the same conclusion as you. The XL just feels better plus it had a better trigger than the Hellcat and standard 365.
The P365 owner has since put a spring kit in his gun and it's now about like the XL but I prefer the straight trigger. The Hellcat owner just did a spring kit and polish job and and his gun has a slightly better trigger than either of the sigs now. There is still that "feels good in the hand" thing and the XL wins in that department as far as I'm concerned plus I wasn't out any money to improve things like the other two were.

I've had my XL about a year now. I was having that exact problem too. Even worse for me is I have stubby thumbs..so reaching the mag release is impossible without changing my grip. I have two HK's with the european mag release. I found myself using my strong hand index finger to drop the mags on the opposite side (again the stubby thumb thing) So with that in mind, I moved the mag release button on my XL to the opposite side. So much easier to drop a mag now without having to change grip. It just feels natural, for me anyway, to do it that way. I just bought a new Shield Plus..moved the release to the other side.

I'm giving some thought to doing just that. How hard is it to do?

If it's anything like the 320, it's stupid easy. Just take out the mag release and then put it in backwards.

Just be careful not to lose the tiny spring when you pull the thing out.
EDIT TO ADD: 'Yeah, I just checked -- it's the same as the 320.
