    My wife and I have a pair of 9mm PPS that I've put about 2200 rds through (between the two of them). That's a lot of mag changes. I have gotten into the habit of turning the gun and using my strong hand thumb to activate the mag release. IMO the lever style release at least on the PPS isn't nearly as ergonomic and sure feeling as a push button release ala 1911, Glock, etc. But the risk of an inadvertent mag release is probably lower with the lever style than with a button style release.

    I thought about using the strong hand trigger finger to run the release, but wanted to avoid using that finger for any task other than operating the trigger. Reason being I don't want to get confused and inadvertently operate the trigger instead of the mag release.

    My wife, having small hands, prefers using the weak hand thumb to release the mag.
