nope,
not even close, both my thumbs are parallel to slide and barrel below the slide and at least ¼" from the release.
Also, didn't do this when I first had this pistol new.
It's pretty easy to diagnose that's for sure..... finish a mag with your thumbs well away from the release and you will know for sure, but by the sounds of it you already know for sure.
I didn't have the problem until my second or third outing.... it doesn't take much contact.
