From shooting my HKs, I got used to using the index or middle finger of my strong hand to depress the ambi mag release. I have come to prefer it that way. The first thing I did when I got my M&P was switch it to the right side.
DHart said:Yes, the mag catch release button is too easy to accidentally hit on the M&P. Switching the mag catch over to the opposite side can be an effective aid in reducing or eliminating mag drop problems - for a time, anyway - on an M&P... but the rub is that if you like to shoot and/or carry other guns also, having some guns with the mag release on one side and another with the mag release on the opposite side seems like a recipie for disaster. If you only shoot and carry an M&P, I'm sure you can adapt to using your index finger to release the mag without worries of developing a bad habit for other guns... until you decide to own/carry other guns...
