Title: Ambi mag release is driving me nuts!
Post by: Zorba on November 05, 2020, 07:50:33 PM
Took my R51 to the range last week - and ONCE AGAIN, I managed to activate the ambi mag release from the RH side simply by gripping the pistol. I'm toying with the idea of grinding that side of the release button down flush - anyone else have this problem?

Nope, never had that issue. Is it your trigger finger or middle finger pushing the release?

Its the meaty part of my hand *apparently* - yes, I'm right handed.

I have never had a problem and I have 3.  Not sure if it the spring, your grip or hand size.  How big a boy er ya?

I have pretty large hands. My late father's were bigger, but mine are still pretty big.
