Thread: Springfield XDM - 9mm

Use your left thumb to hit the magazine catch.

Works for most people with smaller hands or short thumbs.

I might try that myself.

I have to ensure I place my gun hand thumb on top of my safety after I button the mag or I sometimes engage the safety when seating a new mag.
I spent ages drilling myself to get it right but still do it every now and then.

My problem is when on a weak hand stage, not getting my thumb on top of the safety. Over come by more weak hand shooting

Something else to consider is a gun with a reversible mag catch. I swapped the catch on my M&P to the right hand side and used my strong hand middle finger to hit the button, so hardly had to break my grip. But now I've gone to a 2011 I just shift my grip slightly.
