I am right handed and find it so much easier to use my trigger finger to engage the mag release rather than shifting the gun to use my strong hand thumb. You sure don't need a gunsmith to switch it.

You must have really, really short fingers.

I think John Browning got it wrong on the 1911 and we having been paying the price ever since. I have a friend who shoots USPSA and IDPA who is left handed and he thinks having the mag release on the left side of the gun works perfectly for him.

Fwiw

I have read that John Browning designed the 1911, like the Colt SAA, for cavalry troopers, that U.S. cavalry wielded a saber as a primary weapon, and that - as the primary weapon - the saber was usually held in the strong hand. The pistol - being a back-up to the saber - could/would be employed by the weak hand.

(But that's probably all fiction.)

Could be. I'M glad they are now making more and more pistols so you can switch them from side to side.
