Hello,
I have been shooting IPSC pistol matches with a SA custom 1911. I am trying to find a faster way for mag changes(I'm right handed). My thumb will just not reach the button unless I change my grip. Up untill now I have been re-gripping it so my thumb will but it's taking too much time. I've tried releasing it with my left hand but that takes too much time. This is just a thought and I'm sure someone else out there has already tried moving the mag release to the right hand side? I can without changing my grip using my index finger reach the right hand side mag release with no problem. Looking at my grip while my finger is on the trigger none of my fingers come close to the mag release if it was on the right hand side, what if any problems would I have? I thought it would be worth a try?
Thanks,
