I can see how what I said was confusing. I don't wear gloves when I shoot. I was mentioning gloves to give an idea of the size of my hands. A size medium latex glove fits me perfectly, for example. And to everyone else that replied, thanks for the ideas. I have a Glock extended Mag Release from a Glock 34. I will give it a try. Unfortunately it is just extended in length. It's too bad that it doesn't extend towards the rear so my thumb can reach better. I'll try video taping and working on my technique. Thanks again.

Background: I own a Glock 17, and I wear medium size gloves. I'm also right-handed. With my normal grip with my right hand, I can barely rub the edge of the magazine release, but I cannot push it with enough force to eject the mag. I have to shift my grip in order to reach the button. In a recent orientation/safety class they pointed out that while I was doing this, my trigger finger came off of the slide, and was flexing as my thumb tried to push. They pointed out that it could look to a safety officer as if my trigger finger was going to pull the trigger. So - what are my best options? I don't want to practice a bad technique, and have to re-train later. - Shift my hand so that all 4 fingers (including trigger finger) are on the right side of the grip, and push the release with my thumb? - Push the Mag release with my off hand before reaching for a new mag? - Buy one of the after-market mag releases that has a bigger button face? But then my understanding is that I an no longer legal for production/SSP. Any other ideas? Thanks.
