Well I've just been through seven standard size paper clips and they all bend like a spaghetti noodle and I can't get the damn catch stop out. The Sig manual makes it sound so easy. The YouTubes - I wonder how many takes it took to get one right.
I'm a lefty, it takes a bit of manipulation. I've done it on at least 10 grips but it still takes me a few mins each time. Very frustrating. You have to push the retainer pin in while you pull the mag release out. Be careful, there is a little spring in there that has a tendency to go flying across the room and under things.
I fixed it by filing the shoot out of it almost flush, which is great because I don’t like to make any left-specific function changes on my pistols or rifles anyway. Except in this case using the Dremel to whittle down that insanely large stock magazine release.
X Carry. This is after the first round of filing down the mag release button. It still kept dropping accidentally with my crushing grip! So I went after it again hitting the parts that my skin wore off the sharpie coloring.

For comparison- this is stock. Look how far it stuck out and into my lower middle finger! Wrapping my right fingers around to grip even harder is when it’d drop (not when left hand only or right hand shooting).
Thanks that’s good info. I got more pleasure out of keeping the mag release where I’m used to it and fixing it myself along with the Dremel.
