I've been spoiled by years of GSSF's off-the-clock reloads and realized when doing IDPA drills with a friend recently, I suck at reloading. I was just googling/watching videos on the subject and after watching the first part of this one:
I gave it a try and found the following:
My Gen3 17 with Agrip, I pretty much can't activate the mag release with my right thumb.
My Gen3 21SF (no Agrip), I can, but it's not 100% reliable.
My Gen4 41 (no Agrip), the enlarged mag release button makes using the strong hand thumb much easier.
My preferred method is to shift the gun in my hand slightly, trigger finger moves off the trigger and onto the front of the trigger guard, and use my middle finger (strong hand) to reach around to and activate the mag release.
Is my preferred method "wrong" or just another way of doing it?
