I bought my first handgun, an m&p shield 9mm, a few days ago. I was super stoked and have heard nothing but good things about this gun. Well, while working on reloads and dry fire practice, I have managed to hit the magazine release multiple times by accident (I am a lefty). This has NEVER happened with any other handgun. I researched the issue, and it seems to be a common problem. I'm glad I found this out before I actually started carrying it. I'm worried that I'm going to have to get rid of the gun now because it won't work for me.......can anyone offer some help/advice?? Trading it for another gun will still cost a good bit, but I'm concerned about this happening when I need to use it. I'm wondering if I should have gotten the g43 instead, or if I should trade my shield for the glock 43 now...I really hate this feeling. Aside from this issue, the gun feels great. But this is kind of a big issue... The mag release feels less stiff than others handguns I have handled (glock and SA for example.)
