JesseM Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I know this sounds like a weird complaint for most but I'm a righty and I have small-ish hands and I've always had difficulty using my thumb to release magazines so I've gotten into the habit of reversing the magazine release button on any gun that will let me and using my trigger finger to press the mag button... has the bonus of the added safety of knowing I can't possibly have my trigger finger on the trigger while changing mags but that's besides the point. Anyway even though it's not advertised as such you can actually reverse the magazine release on most CZ guns and it was one of the first thing I did to my Shadow 2. With how I use the gun the extra extended face of the mag release now pokes me enough to be annoying so I'm wondering if anyone makes replacement faces I can put on the gun so it's actually smaller.

rowdyb Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 or just get a different head screw to put in the release you already have after you remove the paddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P226X5fan Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I use a regular CZ75 “D” style I got from cz custom in my shadow 2 and it works fine. I had the same issue as you. No issues anymore. The problem with just removing the button on the stock mag release is that anti rotation pin that sticks out. Could file it down, which I did, but it looked like s#!t.

Red_Dot Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Would pivoting it 180* actually benefit you at all? Edited February 22, 2019 by Red_Dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a second pin in the mag release that allows you to change the angle of the button top to 3 different positions and that would prevent rotating it 180.
