Trouble with tribbles... I mean shadows....

Actually I have tiny puny hands lol not big mits. here are some pics of the problem. since I only have two hands I can't show you my proper grip, but my left index finger goes over top on my right middle finger and when I hold the gun properly, pushes my fat fingers down and hits the button.

That's gotta be uncomfortable even if you don't punch a mag out. I still say switch back to a left side mag button and work with it...or put a really strong spring in the mag catch and deal with it being harder to push on for reloads. If it wasn't a production division gun I might be temped to suggest putting some epoxy or other material in the space under the trigger guard where your middle finger makes contact with it. Force that finger down a bit and it should clear the button...but I doubt that's allowed under the rules.

nope not allowed. and actually it's not uncomfortable. I didn't even know i was doing it for some time. it took a while to figure out. I'm going to try to get a regular non exteded mag release and see if that helps. if not i'll just saw it back to the "normal" side and be done with it. if anyone else has ideas I'm all ears though.

With a such small hands, why haven't you tried to use flat thin aluminum grips? They will change your hand position quite a bit and it been said that gun feels more comfortable with them. They are also much better help for recoil control then those factory slippery rubber grips.

NEW PROBLEM


Instead of starting a new thread I thought I'd just revive this one.

I've swapped my mag release to the right hand side and really like it. It's been that way for months and have put a few thousand round through it that way. In the past few weeks/month I've had mags dropping for "no reason" while shooting. At first I thought I wasnt seating them properly, then I thought it was the mags themselves, however I "think" I've nailed down the problem.

When I get a nice high comfortable grip on the gun one of my finges on my right hand hits the release and causes it to drop and piss me off. Anyone else run into this problem and know a solution? I really perfer it on the right handside, however it's a PITA to have it drop the mags all the time.

I'm thinking that a smaller release may help, would a regular cz 75 release work?

Or perhaps swapping out the origional grips for thin aluminum would help? or that could make it worse.

If you have a solution or a suggestion I'm open to ideas.

PITA indeed.

I had this same problem with the factory mag release position (I am a south paw). My troubles were alleviated when I swapped the mag release to the other side.

I think trying a shorter mag release has some merit. In my case it was only happening when my grip was just right (or just wrong) and even then only ~10% of the time. That leads me to believe is being depressed just enough to drop the mag. Going with the short mag release should keep it away from your middle finger.
 
I'm a right handed shooter who has the mag release on eh right hand side to hit with my trigger finger. I do like it.

I'm just barely hitting it when everything goes "Right" and making the mag drop. I have a normal sized release coming and will try that first it should be here next week.

If that doesn't work I have some slim alum grips I'm picking up off a fellow IPSC shooter at the match next month and will try that out. I actally like the stock grips and they feel good, but i'll try the thin ones out.


If none of that works I'll just swap it back to the left side where it "belongs" and be done with it.

I know alot of guys withthem and have shot with them. They don't feel as natural to me at the stock ones do, but I suppose i'd get used to them.... and what kinda jab was that comparing my hands to your wife's? lol You're lucky you're the stats man Steve or I'd say a few choice words.... lol

LoL

Hmmmm .. 32 round stage and you had 1A and 31M?? Geez that's unfortunate ... Haha!
 
So I got the non-extended release a couple days ago. It's not really much smaller than the extended, but I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I was only just barely hiting it before so it may be enough. I'll keep you all posted once I get a chance to try it out.
