Pressing the Mag Release With Small Hands | Buying a Handgun to Fit Your Hand
This video addresses the common challenge of pressing the magazine release with small hands. Instructor Kim from Geauga Firearms Academy demonstrates a technique where the firearm is brought into the workspace and rotated, allowing the support hand to pull the gun towards the thumb to actuate the release. The video also discusses how magazine material and aftermarket extensions can affect release ease, and emphasizes the importance of a handgun fitting the shooter's hand size, citing examples like the FN 509 and Beretta as potentially problematic for smaller hands, while highlighting adjustable backstraps on the M&P 2.0 as a beneficial feature.
